Flying in Brest: the local context

Brest is one of France's most constrained drone cities: the naval base and arsenal in the heart of town sit under a strict no-fly zone, the Île Longue peninsula (nuclear submarines) south of the roadstead is totally prohibited with reinforced protection, and the Brest-Bretagne CTR extends to the north-east. The Breton wind, finally, demands solid aircraft and pilots.

Outside military areas the market is real: inspections of civilian port infrastructure and the marine-energy polder, monitoring of the urban cable car and Capucins district works, imagery for Océanopolis and the maritime festivals that gather hundreds of tall ships, and thermography of a post-war rebuilt social housing stock.

Our pilots prepare every flight under EU rules (open and specific categories) and file the required declarations — the lead time is built into the mission schedule.
