Proof
Where this has worked
Handover packs on this basis have gone into O&M manuals for schemes across the M62 corridor.
Context
Handover snagging is an O&M discipline.
The short version: high-resolution aerial stills and 4K video, supplied within 48 hours. The pack fits the O&M — organised by zone, not by convenience.
Method
How this gets shot
CAA-licensed flights with a sub-2kg airframe inside congested-area permissions. The pack fits the O&M — organised by zone, not by convenience.
