ROC Support

For businesses seeking to leverage commercial drones in Kenya without the complexities of obtaining their own Remote Aircraft Operator Certificate (ROC), Serian offers a streamlined solution: ROC support. We enable you to perform commercial drone services legally and efficiently by operating under our established and KCAA-approved ROC.

This service is ideal for companies who prefer to bypass the rigorous and time-consuming process of individual certification. Serian takes on the full responsibility for maintaining KCAA compliance for all operations conducted under our ROC. This includes ensuring all regulatory requirements are met, from flight planning and execution to data acquisition and safety protocols.

By utilizing Serian's ROC, you gain immediate access to compliant commercial drone capabilities, allowing you to focus on your core business while we handle the regulatory heavy lifting.

Import & Registration

Acquiring a drone in Kenya involves navigating specific regulatory hurdles, from initial importation to final registration. Serian Geospatial offers comprehensive Drone Import & Registration services to simplify this process, ensuring your new drone is legally and safely operational from day one.

We manage the entire import permit application with the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA), a mandatory step before any drone enters the country. Our expertise ensures all necessary documentation is prepared accurately, minimizing delays and potential confiscation at customs. Following successful importation, we then handle the essential drone registration process with the KCAA. This involves submitting the required details and obtaining the official Certificate of Registration, making your drone legally identifiable and compliant with Kenyan aviation laws.

We guide you through the process of selecting compatible hardware and software, ensuring a smooth transition from purchase to operational readiness. With Serian, you can confidently import, register, and integrate your drone, knowing all regulatory requirements are met.

Pilot Hire

Accessing skilled, KCAA-certified drone pilots is the fastest way to run compliant aerial operations without hiring or training in-house. Serian's certified pilot pool has extensive hours across survey-grade mapping, inspection, media capture and industrial monitoring missions in Kenya.

We match each project with a pilot whose experience fits the platform, payload and deliverable required - whether that is an RTK mapping mission, a thermal inspection, a cinematic aerial shoot or a multi-day corridor survey. Our pilots operate under our approved ROC, follow strict safety and airspace procedures, and work directly with your team on planning, flight execution and hand-off of raw or processed data.

Engage our pilots on a per-mission, daily or retainer basis, and scale your drone operations without the overhead of full pilot recruitment.
