North Star Aerial is Flying in Milwaukee

/

You read that right - North Star Aerial is expanding east! We have crossed two rivers, and officially expanded into the Milwaukee area! We’re excited to make this beautiful city a home away from home and can’t wait to get our drones up in the air.

We have earned a reputation in Minneapolis as one of the most trusted drone crews. Adam Geiss, owner, is a seasoned and trusted drone pilot with worldwide operational experience. He and his team at North Star Aerial are more than just a team of drone operators. Adam has proudly assembled a crew of veteran cinematographers, camera operators, professional pilots and technicians.

Being new to Milwaukee, North Star Aerial is ready to build relationships within the advertising, broadcast and film industries. We are fully insured, FAA licensed UAS pilots - we have all of right certifications and qualifications to get the job done. This means that last minute job requests are not a problem. We are cleared to fly day or night in most controlled airspaces in the state of Wisconsin, including Milwaukee and Timmerman and Green Bay.

A call out to any art directors, creative directors and production folks in the area - we’d love to grab coffee and chat about how we might work together in the future. Feel free to give us a call or shoot us an email and we’ll set up some time to get together.

Conducting Drone Business in the State of Minnesota, MN-Dot Operators Certificate

North Star Aerial adds another compliance feather to its cap. While the FAA continues to make progress with the integration of drones into the national airspace, the State of Minnesota has recently initiated requirements governing drone activities as well. The Minnesota Department of Transportation Aviation now mandates that you, as a UAS operator, register your aircraft with the state, meet their insurance requirements, and then obtain an annual operator license. 

Some believe that this is nothing more than a revenue grab from the state. I remain optimistic, andbelieve that it is just another check and balance with in the industry.

However, this could prove detrimental to our industry. There is the possibility that each state will adopt it's own rules and regulations for the newly emerging drone industry. 

We need uniform and consistent national regulation, rather than state by state legislation. A national operator's license, much like a local driver's license, would give each pilot the freedom to both travel and conduct business nationwide, without the barrier to enter of state by state regulation.
