Do you fly drones in Wilmington, DE?

Yes. Wilmington is outside Chester County, and it is still covered. There is no distance limit; travel beyond the usual run is costed with the quote.

What does insurance and claim documentation cost in Wilmington?

$375 per property in New Castle County, Delaware. Four or more properties a month is priced lower on a standing arrangement. Quoted prices are valid 90 days.

What kind of drone work do you do most in Wilmington?

Mostly insurance & claims, construction, marketing & brand here, though all four packaged lines and the services quoted per project are available anywhere I fly. Wilmington is the commercial end of New Castle County, and most of what I fly there is documentation rather than marketing: roofs, structures and multi-building sites.

Are you insured and FAA certified to fly in Wilmington?

Yes. Every flight is by an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot, and the site itself is insured through SkyWatch: $1M of commercial liability bound for your address before the flight, with a certificate naming you as additional insured issued with it. Work in or near controlled airspace needs LAANC authorization arranged in advance.

Wilmington is the commercial end of New Castle County, and most of what I fly there is documentation rather than marketing: roofs, structures and multi-building sites.

Commercial and multi-structure documentation is quoted rather than fixed, because the useful set depends on how many roofs there are and how they sit relative to each other.

Single-property documentation is $375, delivered as unmodified originals with a flight log and file manifest. Where a file is going to be argued over, an affidavit of authenticity sworn before a disinterested notary is available for $95.

City work needs more coordination than county work: controlled airspace, people and traffic all change what can be flown and when. That is planned before the flight, not discovered during it.
