SKYiYE Aerial

A practice, not a vendor.

SKYiYE Aerial is a small, focused sUAS operations and training practice. We document what we observe, deliver what we promised, and explain our methodology in writing. That’s the entire pitch.

We approach aerial work the way engineering disciplines approach measurement: with a written scope, defensible methodology, and documentation that another professional could pick up and verify. That orientation comes from the audiences we serve — engineers, inspectors, public-safety teams, and design professionals — who need data they can defend, not images they have to caveat.

  • Written scope Every engagement begins with a written scope identifying capture method, deliverables, and accuracy targets.
  • Documented methodology Flight plans, control point coordinates, processing software and versions, and accuracy reports accompany deliverables where applicable.
  • Conservative airmanship We don’t fly outside our authorizations, we don’t fly outside the aircraft’s operating envelope, and we don’t fly weather we can’t safely manage.
  • Honest scoping When a project doesn’t fit what we do well, we say so and refer it elsewhere.
  • FAA Remote Pilot in Command, Part 107 certificated. Current on biennial currency requirements.
  • Insurance $2M general liability coverage; certificate of insurance available on request.
  • Entity SKYiYE Aerial, registered in the United States. W-9 available for vendor onboarding.
  • Data handling Client deliverables are served through our self-hosted portal with authenticated access controls and audited download logs. Raw data is archived for a minimum of 90 days.
  • NDAs We sign standard non-disclosure agreements for sensitive projects without modification fees.

Aerial platforms are one tool. The practice also runs ground-based capture, custom data pipelines, and small-scale automation work that supports the same documentation outcomes: getting reliable, well-organized information in front of the people who need to decide something with it.

  • Ground platforms UGV deployment for confined-space and ground-level documentation where aerial isn’t the right tool.
  • Custom builds Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and MicroPython embedded systems for sensor capture and field instrumentation.
  • Additive manufacturing In-house FDM for custom mounts, payload adapters, and replacement components.
  • Data pipelines Python tooling for processing, automating reports, and integrating capture into client systems.
