Founder
Grant Caswell
Who you're working with
A pilot first,an operator second.
Grant Caswell has spent more than 25 years in aviation, flying manned aircraft before he ever flew unmanned ones. That order matters. Airspace, weather, risk assessment and the discipline of a pre-flight briefing were routine long before a drone was involved — so on a Caswell job they are not procedures borrowed from a manual, they are habits.
Manned aircraft first
Years in airline management before the transition to RPAS — the same airspace, the same rules, the same consequences.
One operator, start to finish
No account manager relaying a brief to a subcontractor. You speak to the pilot.
Legally, ethically, safely
The standard Caswell has operated to since the beginning, and the reason work near aerodromes and over people is possible at all.
