Episode 05 of the Agri-Tech Frontiers Webinar Series takes a practical look at CAA audits, record keeping and compliance for professional drone operators. Designed to remove some of the uncertainty around the audit process, this session brings together operational, software and regulatory perspectives to show what a high-standard drone operation looks like behind the scenes.
Featuring Andy Sproson from AutoSpray Systems, Dorian Ellis from Dronedesk and Craig Lippett from Eagle Eye Innovations, the workshop explores what auditors are looking for, how operators can avoid common compliance pitfalls and how better systems can make flight planning and record keeping more efficient. As part of the wider Agri-Tech Frontiers series, this episode supports the development of a safer, more professional and commercially scalable agri-drone sector, helping operators build confidence not just in the field, but in the processes and standards that sit behind every flight.
The Agri-Tech Frontiers webinar series is a collaborative initiative between AutoSpray Systems and ARPAS-UK (the UK’s drone association) that serves as a premier forum for thought leadership and professional development in the agricultural drone sector. Charting the rapid growth, operational standards, and future potential of UK agri-drone technology, the series brings together operators, land managers, industry innovators, and regulatory bodies. From demystifying compliance and CAA audits to showcasing real-world environmental projects and advanced piloting pathways, Agri-Tech Frontiers provides the practical insights, strategic guidance, and technical CPD needed to scale safe, sustainable, and commercially viable aerial operations across British landscapes.
