Owning a DJI drone is a significant investment, especially for commercial operators who rely on these aircraft day in, day out. With replacement costs rising and product availability increasingly uncertain, it makes commercial and operational sense to extract the maximum possible lifespan from your existing aircraft. At Coptrz, we maintain and support DJI fleets for […]

What is the RPC-L1 (Level 1 Remote Pilot Certificate)? The Level 1 Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC-L1) is the UK Civil Aviation Authority’s new baseline certification for drone pilots operating in the Specific Category. Introduced in 2025, this certificate aligns with the modern UK SORA risk assessment framework which replaces the old “OSC” process for advanced […]

At the heart of the evolution of modern warfare and defence strategy lies the growing role of military drone reconnaissance. Military reconnaissance drones often referred to as Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) drones are specifically engineered to meet the exacting standards of the armed forces. These platforms integrate imaging sensors, long-endurance flight capabilities, and secure […]

Across the world, smart cities are integrating drones into the fabric of their transport and logistics systems. Their speed and ability to bypass poor or congested road infrastructure make them ideal for time-sensitive, short-distance deliveries. In logistics, the first mile marks the journey’s starting point, where goods are collected directly from manufacturers or suppliers and […]

Drones are a big part of the construction industry’s digital transition, which is happening right now. According to Research and Markets, the global construction drone market is projected to grow to £9.99 billion by 2029, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1%. This strong growth highlights how drones are steadily becoming essential tools […]

From 1 January 2026, the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) will implement significant regulatory changes to the Open Category, including new class markings and the integration of Remote ID requirements. For holders of the A2 Certificate of Competency (A2 CofC), these changes are particularly positive offering expanded operational privileges without the need for additional training […]
