AERO-XAPEX DRONES

Consulting & Advisory

Drone program consulting, from first permit to full fleet

Senior operators and regulatory specialists who help you design, license and scale a drone program — without learning every lesson the hard way.

Engagements

Four ways we work with your team

Fixed-scope engagements with written deliverables — you always know what lands on your desk and when.

Regulatory pathway & licensing

We map your operation to the right CAAI or EASA category, prepare the documentation and walk it through the authority with you.

  • Category determination: Open, Specific or national permit
  • Operations manual and conops drafting
  • SORA / risk assessment preparation
  • Authority correspondence handled end-to-end

Program design & build-out

From a one-aircraft pilot project to a multi-site fleet: structure, roles, checklists and safety management that actually get used.

  • Operating model: in-house, outsourced or hybrid
  • Role definitions, training matrix and currency tracking
  • Checklists, logbooks and maintenance scheduling
  • Safety management system scaled to your size

Procurement & fleet advisory

Independent, vendor-neutral advice on aircraft, payloads and software — sized to the mission, not the marketing deck.

  • Mission-to-aircraft fit analysis
  • Total cost of ownership modelling
  • Tender writing and vendor evaluation
  • Acceptance testing before you sign

Incident review & audit support

When something goes wrong — or before it does: independent investigation, audit preparation and corrective-action tracking.

  • Independent incident investigation and reporting
  • Pre-audit gap analysis against your manual
  • Corrective action plans with owners and dates
  • Regulator communication support
