Our pilots
Raising the standard for
drone inspections
Not all pilots are made equal. Cyberhawk’s teams are trained to an elite proprietary standard — four levels above FAA and CAA minimums — and have logged over 500,000 industrial missions worldwide. Their flight mastery is proven in the toughest environments, from live flare stacks to GPS-denied confines, where manual control and precision matter most.
But skill alone isn’t enough. Our pilots understand the assets they inspect — how they operate, where risk lies, and what data integrity demands. That domain knowledge ensures every flight path and capture angle is repeatable and consistent, building a like-for-like record of your infrastructure over time. The result: operational consistency, defensible insight, and total confidence in every decision.
The Cyberhawk Way
Aerial Experts
Pilots
Powering safe, precise, and repeatable missions
Cyberhawk drone pilots thrive where others don't.
From offshore rigs to confined tanks and high-voltage corridors, our pilots operate in hazardous, GPS-denied, and high-pressure environments with total control.
Every mission follows “the Cyberhawk way”: rigorous preparation, live risk management, and uncompromising safety discipline. With one of the industry's largest global pilot pools, we scale complex inspection and survey programs across continents while ensuring every flight is consistent, compliant, and engineered for inspection-grade results.
Payload
Powering safe, precise, and repeatable missions
Every asset tells a story — the right payload makes it clear.
Cyberhawk fields one of the industry’s most advanced multi-sensor fleets, capturing inspection data with sub-millimeter precision.
High-resolution cameras reveal cracks and corrosion in detail, thermal sensors expose hidden hotspots, and LiDAR builds accurate 3D models for clearance and terrain analysis. Specialized payloads extend capabilities further, from emissions monitoring to ultrasonic thickness sensors. By matching sensor to scenario, Cyberhawk delivers engineering-grade insight that is accurate, repeatable, and trusted worldwide.
Drone Platforms
The right drone for the job
No two inspections are the same, so why use the same drone?
From differing endurance, payload options, form factors and legislative restrictions, choosing the right drone is crucial to operational success.
Our extensive fleet of over 180 cutting edge drones, and our team of aviation experts with specific industry knowledge means we can always have the flexibility to select the right drone for the job, ensuring optimal execution and flawless data capture.
Permissions
Powering safe, precise, and repeatable missions
Flying is only half the challenge — gaining approval to fly is the other.
Cyberhawk navigates regulatory frameworks in more than 40 countries, securing the authorizations that make complex missions possible.
That includes advanced approvals such as a nationwide FAA waiver for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations in the US — enabling longer, more efficient flights across transmission corridors and other critical infrastructure. With rigorous standards proven in multiple aviation audits, our operations meet the highest bar for safety and compliance, giving customers total confidence in every mission.
Planning
Powering safe, precise, and repeatable missions
Behind every flight is meticulous planning.
Pilots prepare detailed Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) that set out exactly how the job will be carried out safely and effectively.
Site access, airspace checks, live-asset proximity, and environmental conditions are all factored in before a single prop turns. For complex programs, GIS-based tools map assets, terrain, and known access issues to streamline operations. Offshore or remote work includes vessel logistics, permits, and contingencies. This preparation ensures every mission — from a single tower to a full corridor — runs safely, consistently, and predictably.
"Cyberhawk has very good image quality, pilots and approvals in complex zones which is one of the reasons we allocate more scope to Cyberhawk than other vendors."
