Real aviators. Real expertise. Defensible reports.
CT Aero brings real aviation expertise to aerial drone services. Our operators are FAA Airline Transport Pilots who fly missions, not hobby flights — trained to plan, brief, and execute with the discipline commercial aviation demands.
We deliver defensible, certified reports for the buildings, construction sites, solar arrays, and infrastructure that owners and operators stake real money on. We operate in dynamic and controlled airspace where others can't.
Brief a mission with CT Aero.
48-hour reports. ASTM C1153-23 · C1060-23 · ASPRS 2024.
You're in the right place if you're tired of:
CT Aero is built for construction PMs, facility directors, and property managers who need defensible aerial data — not another vendor selling drone footage.
Chasing subs for photos and progress updates that never come.
Getting drone footage with no data behind it — just B-roll and hero shots.
Waiting weeks for a deliverable when the change order meeting is Tuesday.
Explaining site conditions to owners over text messages and phone photos.
Losing arguments over change orders with no time-stamped visual evidence.
Signing up with "drone guys" who disappear mid-project or deliver files you can't use.
Wondering whether aerial data will hold up under insurance or engineering review.
Paying for hero shots when what you need is defensible documentation.
Aerial Data and Intelligence
Facilities — Construction — Infrastructure — Solar — Documentation
Radiometric thermal, RTK photogrammetry, and high-resolution visual capture — flown by pilots who plan missions, not selfies.
Every flight becomes evidence. Owners see the site without walking it. Lenders release draws faster with professional aerial in the package. This feed rotates as new missions ship.
Aerial inspection services.
Built to defensible standards.
Construction Mapping & Monitoring
Recurring aerial data throughout construction lifecycle — orthomosaics, 3D reconstruction, DEMs, and volumetric cut/fill quantification. Progress monitoring, change-order documentation, safety records, and as-built verification on a defined cadence aligned to project milestones.
Commercial Roof Thermal Inspection
Geo-referenced thermal moisture surveys identifying wet insulation, membrane breaches, and trapped moisture before they become leaks, warranty disputes, or insurance claims.
Aerial Surveying & Mapping
High-accuracy aerial mapping, orthomosaic generation, and topographic surveys using RTK-grade drone systems. Ground control points and licensed surveyor sign-off available for engineering deliverables.
Building Envelope Thermal Analysis
Exterior wall, curtain-wall, and high-rise envelope thermal analysis. Detect insulation gaps, moisture intrusion, and air infiltration without scaffolding, rope access, or shutdowns.
Commercial Solar Panel Thermal Inspection
Drone-flown radiometric thermal surveys of commercial solar arrays. Module-level defect detection, string-level fault localization, and energy-loss quantification per IEC 62446-3 methodology. For commercial rooftop and ground-mount installations.
Hurricane & Storm Response
Rapid post-hurricane and post-storm aerial documentation of roof, envelope, and solar array damage. Geotagged, timestamped imagery for insurance claims and warranty support. Rapid Reporting available on request. Pre-event capacity reservation for coastal Florida portfolios.
HVAC Thermal Screening
Rooftop unit anomaly detection — refrigerant leaks, failing compressors, electrical hot spots — identified before they cause equipment failure or business interruption.
Port & Marine Infrastructure Inspection
Aerial inspection of port facilities, terminals, bulkheads, seawalls, fenders, and marine infrastructure. Identify corrosion, structural deficiencies, and impact damage without diver deployment or operational shutdown.
Airport Facility Inspection
Aerial inspection of airport pavement, signage, lighting, perimeter fencing, hangar roofs, and airside facilities. Operations conducted in controlled airspace by FAA-rated pilots who understand airport operations.
Hydrographic Survey
Bathymetric and shallow-water surveys for dredging projects, marina assessments, bulkhead documentation, and waterway infrastructure. Aerial photogrammetry combined with sonar-equipped survey vessels.

Things owners actually care about.
Property managers and facility directors don't need another drone operator with a YouTube credential. They need defensible reports, licensed and certified work, and aviators who can operate in dynamic airspace without burning the schedule.
Meet the Operator →Insurance-grade documentation. Accepted by carriers, NDL warranty manufacturers, and lenders. Legally admissible.
FAA-rated operators. ASTM C1153-23, C1060-23, and ASPRS 2024 standards followed by protocol, not by accident.
Airline-trained operators handle controlled airspace, port operations, and active construction without disrupting your day.
48-hour reports. No scaffolding, no shutdowns, no rope teams. Fraction of the cost of traditional methods.
