About
I'm Ewan Allen-Cottingham, a drone pilot and aerospace engineer with over five years in the UAV industry.
I started as a pilot and technician at Vantage UAV, then flew AR3 and AR5 fixed wing aircraft beyond visual line of sight for TEKEVER, where I became Remote Pilot in Command and Mission Commander, leading flight crews and training new operators. As Technical Manager at Survey Air I ran CAA compliance, the operations manual and fleet maintenance, and flew LiDAR, photogrammetry, multispectral and inspection work.
Allingford Drone Services is how I offer that experience directly: helping you set up and run a drone operation, flying for you, and turning the data into something you can use.
- BEng (Hons)Aerospace Engineering, University of the West of England
- 100+ BVLOS hoursFixed wing operations with TEKEVER
