Questions

Search & recovery FAQ

Can you search at night?

Yes. Night flights are conducted under FAA waiver with anti-collision lighting and thermal payloads, which are often more effective after dark.

What do you need from me before launch?

A last known point, timeline, terrain description and property access. We handle airspace checks and weather.

What do I receive afterward?

GPS coordinates, annotated imagery and a written flight report suitable for incident documentation.
