Can Drone Insurance cover surveying, inspection and photography work?
AI Doc Summarizer Doc Summary

Drone Insurance can be arranged for many different commercial activities.

The insurer needs an accurate description of how the drone is used.

What activities can insurers consider? #

Examples include:

  • Land surveying.
  • Engineering surveys.
  • Construction progress inspections.
  • Roof inspections.
  • Building inspections.
  • Property photography.
  • Real estate photography.
  • Film and media.
  • Mapping.
  • Environmental monitoring.
  • Agricultural inspection.
  • Infrastructure inspection.

Why does the activity matter? #

Different operations create different exposures.

For example, photographing a rural property can present a different risk from:

  • Inspecting a high-rise building.
  • Flying near infrastructure.
  • Surveying a construction site.
  • Operating near the public.
  • Flying specialist equipment.

The insurer may therefore apply different terms depending on the work.

Does Drone Insurance cover the professional advice produced from the flight? #

Not necessarily.

Drone Liability Insurance primarily addresses aviation liability.

If the business provides professional services such as:

  • Surveying.
  • Engineering.
  • Inspection reports.
  • Mapping advice.
  • Technical recommendations.

Professional Indemnity Insurance may also be required.

What should be disclosed? #
