About Dragonfly Surveys
Dragonfly Surveys is a Suffolk drone operator working with farmers, vineyard owners, estates and land managers across the East of England. The core of the business is multispectral survey: drone imagery and AI analysis that picks up disease, pest pressure, water stress and nutrient deficiency, often before any of it is visible from the ground, and turns that into practical maps for variable-rate herbicide and fertiliser decisions, weed detection, stand counts and yield estimates. The same survey work supports Preliminary Ecological Appraisals and Biodiversity Net Gain reporting, BS5837 tree surveys and woodland inventories, and mapping used as audit evidence for grant and stewardship conditions. Drone spraying and spreading is also offered, carried out through the SAS Agri Drones network and flown under SAS Agri's CAA authorisation, with Dragonfly Surveys acting as an authorised pilot within that network. The remote pilot holds an A2 CofC and a GVC, carries specialist drone insurance and the business is a member of ARPAS-UK, the UK commercial drone trade association.
Regulatory notes
Listing confirmed directly with the operator in August 2026, from the business's own email domain. The operator has confirmed that spray drone operations are carried out through the SAS Agri Drones network and managed under SAS Agri's own CAA authorisation, so SAS Agri is the UAS operator of record for application work and Dragonfly Surveys flies as an authorised pilot within that network. Survey and mapping work is flown by Dragonfly Surveys in its own right; the ARPAS-UK member directory records an A2 Certificate of Competency, a General VLOS Certificate and a PDRA01 Operational Authorisation. Separately from aviation permissions, aerial application of Plant Protection Products by drone requires an HSE permit under the Plant Protection Products (Sustainable Use) Regulations 2012. Confirm current permissions, insurance and product suitability directly with the operator before arranging spraying or spreading work.
