Working with RAAD
Flying for RAAD works the way independent work should: you choose the days you fly, and we make those days simple and profitable. No hunting for clients, no bidding wars, no invoicing headaches — just a clean agenda of paid flights for major industrial clients in construction, utilities, telecoms, solar, and insurance.
Your flying day, handled
02
Pre-built flight plans
Every flight arrives ready to load: altitude, overlap, gimbal pitch, pattern, and weather windows are already set, with a pre-flight checklist so nothing gets missed. Load it and fly.
03
A direct line to your flight coordinator
You're never on your own out there. Your dedicated flight coordinator knows your schedule and your sites — one tap to message or call when weather turns or site access changes.
04
24/7 support from UAS specialists
Hardware issue at 6am? Authorization question on site? RAAD's UAS specialists answer around the clock, so a snag never costs you a flying day.
Regular, predictable earnings
Every day on your agenda shows its payout before you accept it. Active pilots flying full days typically earn $400–$800 per flying day, with top pilots in high-demand regions earning more. Payments land automatically by direct deposit — no invoicing, no chasing.
01
Transparent per-flight pay
No adversarial bidding — we enlist the right expertise, not the lowest bidder. You see the number up front, every time.
02
Consistency you can plan around
Industrial clients fly on recurring schedules — weekly progress capture, quarterly inspections — so strong pilots see the same sites and steady work month after month.
03
Performance pays
Pilots with a history of clean captures get priority access to the best-paying days and recurring routes.
