What to know locally in Centurion

Shops can explain which drones carry built-in no-fly zones and how to check a location before take-off. Buyers looking at second-hand drones on local groups should ask for the flight log and battery cycle count, and watch the drone hover before paying.
What people fly for in Centurion
Centurion sits between two air force bases, Swartkop to the west and Waterkloof to the east, so it is one of the more awkward places in Gauteng to fly casually. Paid work goes on regardless. Developers want progress video of new estates in Midstream and Olievenhoutbosch, body corporates want roof and gutter checks, and office parks along the N1 order photos for leasing. Irene's farmland and the Rietvlei area add open space and a rural look. Summer brings late afternoon thunderstorms that arrive fast over the open grassland, while winter brings clear, cold mornings that suit mapping. Most estates also set their own drone rules.

- Estate agents and developers: showing missing insulation and damp patches on large roofs before a sale
- Builders, engineers and installers: checking roof membranes and solar arrays on new buildings for faults
