Delaware County, PA

Drone photography in Media

Media is the Delaware County seat: a compact borough with a trolley running down the middle of State Street and very little room around anything. Property documentation here is $325.

Density is the whole problem and the whole argument. Borough lots are narrow and deep, buildings share walls, and the roof — which is usually what somebody actually needs to see — is invisible from every point on the ground. One flight solves it.

Insurance and claim documentation in Delaware County is $325 per property, the same rate as Chester County, delivered the same way: originals unmodified, with a flight log and a file manifest.

Flying a borough this tight takes more planning than a field does. People, traffic and the trolley line all change what can be flown and when, and that is worked out before the flight rather than during it.

    Yes.

Certifications, memberships and tooling

Registered, maintained, logged

Every aircraft flown is registered with the FAA and broadcasts Remote ID. Maintenance and flight logs are tracked in Airdata UAV, which publishes the verified flight count below.

Airdata logs the DJI aircraft. FPV flights are flown outside it and are not counted, so the total is higher.
