Drone Flight Romania (DFR), the first Romanian BVLOS aerial security operator for critical infrastructure
We are bringing to Romania an aerial security and inspection model already proven in the Netherlands, with full operations, legal compliance built in and our own management team. It is not a new, untested concept.
A proven model, brought to Romania
DFR TeamDrone Flight Romania (DFR) is implementing in Romania a BVLOS operating model for critical infrastructure that the Dutch aviation authority (ILT) has already validated, authorizing PDRA procedures for autonomous inspection and surveillance drones.
We are not building a new, untested concept: we are adapting a methodology already proven in real operations to the Romanian market.

The regulatory framework we operate in
We operate within the EASA and AACR regulatory framework that applies to BVLOS operations, with SORA/PDRA files prepared and submitted to the competent authority for every project.
How we work
We start from the client's needs
Before any quote, we establish what has to be protected or monitored, and under what conditions. Only then do we choose the aircraft, the docking station, the routes and how often missions fly. For an industrial site, for example, we define the geofence, the sensitive areas and the patrol schedule based on the real risks of that location.
Compliance before the first flight
We don't start an operation without the right authorization framework. We choose the correct path (open category, STS, PDRA or SORA) depending on complexity, and we get the approvals before the first mission. For the Dărăști site we went through the full process, with SORA 2.5 and an Operations Manual, and AACR authorization was granted before operations began.
Procedural rigor
The client knows at any moment who does what and how each situation is handled. We work with internal and operational procedures, pre- and post-flight checklists, a flight log, incident reports and an emergency response plan.
Flexibility
Every client wants a different level of involvement, so we don't impose a single model. Some choose the full service, flown by our pilots. Others want only consultancy and documentation for their own team.
