TAKEOFF LANDING OPS BOUNDARY CINEMA LINE — NOT OVER PEOPLE SUB-250 — OVER PEOPLE (OOP)
Operations System — all systems verified
FAA Part 107 Certification All pilots certificated · in-house
What it lets us do Operate commercially anywhere in the U.S. under federal regulation. Every Big Sky FPV pilot holds a current FAA Remote Pilot Certificate — no uncertified subcontractors, ever.
What it means for you Your production is legal from the first frame. Licensing documentation is available for procurement, permits, and film-office paperwork on request.

Over-People Waivers FAA authorization · active
What it lets us do Fly directly above crowds — concerts, festivals, stadium audiences — under FAA waivers and category-compliant aircraft (ducted, sub-250 g platforms engineered for this exact operation). Most operators cannot legally put a drone over your audience. We can.
What it means for you The over-crowd shot is approved on paper before anyone flies. We provide the waiver documentation and the operation-specific safety case your venue and legal teams need to sign off with confidence.

Night Operations Certified · anti-collision equipped
What it lets us do Fly after dark — headline sets, pyro moments, night skylines — with anti-collision lighting and night-specific procedures per FAA requirements.
What it means for you The best moments of a live event happen at night. They're inside our operating envelope, not outside it.
$10M Aviation Insurance COI issued within 24h
What it lets us do Carry $10,000,000 in aviation liability coverage — the tier venues, municipalities, and broadcast productions require, not the hobbyist minimum.
What it means for you Certificates of Insurance with additional-insured language for your venue or production entity, issued within 24 hours of request. Your risk team gets exactly the paper they ask for.

Per-Flight Risk Assessment Written safety case · every operation
What it lets us do Every operation gets a written risk assessment: airspace review, site survey, crowd buffers and cordons, aircraft selection rationale, abort criteria, and crew assignments — before a battery is connected.
What it means for you A document your stakeholders can review in advance. When the venue asks "what happens if…", the answer already exists in writing.

Emergency Procedures Briefed crew · rehearsed responses
What it lets us do Lost-link behavior, forced-landing zones, crowd-clear protocols, fire response, and show-stop coordination with your production — defined per site, briefed to every crew member, rehearsed before doors.
What it means for you If something unexpected happens, the response is procedural, not improvised. Your show-caller knows the plan because we built it with them.
