EU regulations, real prices, mission preparation: concrete answers before commissioning a drone service.

• Drone or Satellite for Precision Agriculture: Which One to Choose?Resolution, revisit frequency, cloud cover, cost per hectare: drone vs satellite comparison for precision agriculture, and how to pick the right technology in 2026.
• Drone and Tree-Top Adventure Parks: Aerial Canopy Diagnostics Alongside the Mandatory Annual Inspection, PriceThe annual inspection of a tree-top adventure course (NF EN 15567) is done on rope, tree by tree. Drone canopy mapping targets it beforehand. 2026 method and prices (excl. VAT).
• Aircraft Hangar Drone Inspection: Structure, Roof, Coordination with the Airfield and PricingNeither an ICPE nor an ERP, an aircraft hangar's structure still falls under general labour-law duties. What a drone documents on the roof, coordination with the tower, 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Sovereign or Chinese Drone: What Your Equipment Choice Means for a Mission on a Sensitive SiteDJI dominates the professional market, but late-2025 US restrictions and growing scrutiny at sensitive sites push some clients to require "sovereign" equipment. French law, what a client actually checks, and the alternatives.
• Liability in a Professional Drone Accident: Who Answers for It — the Client, the Operator or the Pilot?A drone crashes during a professional mission and causes damage: what French transport law says about the operator's liability, when the client can be targeted too, and what professional liability insurance actually covers.
• Ladder Access and Accessible Façades: What a Drone Survey Checks Before an ERP Building Is Signed OffLadder access route, accessible façade, distance between window access points: what French ERP fire safety rules require, and what a georeferenced drone survey documents for the inspection body's file. Method and 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Drone Mission Inside an Airport CTR: Who to Contact, What Delay, What ProtocolReal estate, construction, industry or events: as soon as a professional site sits inside an airport CTR, the drone mission depends on prior authorization. Procedure, delays and 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Warehouse Racking Drone Inspection: the NF EN 15635 Standard, the PRSES's Role and PricingUnder the NF EN 15635 standard and CNAMTS recommendation R.308, an annual expert inspection of steel storage racking is mandatory. What a drone documents at height without replacing the PRSES. 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Zoo and Wildlife Park Fence and Moat Inspection by Drone: Enclosure Safety Without Disturbing the Animals, PricingA zoo or wildlife park must guarantee its enclosures are secure: fences, moats, drop levels. What a drone survey documents on containment without disturbing the animals, the ICPE 2140 framework, and 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Roof Smoke Vents: Using a Drone to Support the Mandatory Annual Fire Safety CheckRoof smoke vents and natural smoke extraction: annual verification is a legal requirement (ERP premises, ICPE 1510 warehouses). What a drone can check visually, its limits, and 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Drones and Prisons: No-Fly Ban, Penalties and Regulation of a Correctional FacilityFlying a drone over a French prison is banned outright, with no exemption available to civilian operators: a site-specific no-fly zone, two separate offences, jamming equipment being rolled out. What the law says in 2026.
• Commercial Lease Inventory Report: Using a Drone to Document Roof and Facade Before a DisputeMandatory since France's 2014 Pinel law, the entry and exit inventory report for a commercial lease often hinges on a roof or facade nobody has really inspected. Method, framework and 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Rooftop Fall-Arrest Anchor Lines: Using a Drone to Support the Annual Safety CheckRooftop lines of life and fall-arrest anchor points: annual verification is a legal requirement under French labour law and NF EN 795. What a drone can detect, its limits, and 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Fuel Station Canopy Drone Inspection: Structure, ICPE Compliance and PricingA filling station canopy shelters the fuel islands and covers their containment area — yet no French rule requires a periodic visual check of the structure itself. What a drone survey documents, the ICPE framework (rubrique 1435), and 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Vegetation Clearance Along High-Voltage Power Lines: What a Drone LiDAR Survey DocumentsA tree growing too close to a high-voltage line puts the landowner's liability on the line, with the grid operator holding a right to cut it back. What a drone LiDAR survey measures along a corridor, and 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Managing vegetation on a ground-mounted solar farm by drone: monitoring, mowing, priceOvergrown grass, module shading, mowing or grazing to schedule: how drone monitoring maps vegetation on a ground-mounted solar farm and prioritises intervention zones. Method and 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Storm and hail damage: mass drone surveys for insurance after a natural disasterAfter a storm or hailstorm damages hundreds of roofs at once, how insurers run a commune-wide drone survey campaign. Method, the French natural-disaster claims framework, 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Drone and planning violations: what a municipality is allowed to do (and not)Undeclared pool, unauthorised extension: can a municipality send a drone to record a planning violation? What French law, case law and the CNIL say in 2026.
• Drone survey of a road accident scene for automotive experts: method, legal framework, priceDrone photogrammetry after a road accident: site survey, trajectory reconstruction, coordination with law enforcement, 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• African swine fever: thermal drones to spot wild boar and audit pig farm biosecuritySearching for wild boar carcasses, aerial audits of anti-contact fencing on outdoor pig farms: two thermal drone uses against African swine fever, regulatory framework, 2026 prices (excl. VAT).
• Annual multi-site drone contract: pooling missions instead of one quote per siteThermography, roofing, solar panels: how an annual drone framework contract pools recurring missions across multiple sites, budget and clauses to define.
