Ask if they hold a valid Permission for Commercial Operation or General VLoS Certificate (an Operational Authorisation) & ask to see their PfCO/GVC operational authorisation document from the Civil Aviation Authority (UK CAA); ours can be viewed upon request, just ask!
Ask how long they've been operating ... always book an experienced crew like us!
