The Modini solution

Modini provided three core capabilities specifically chosen to operate the Schiebel S-100 drone. Modini staff are largely ex-military, with aircrew who are qualified service pilots or hold an ATPL. Modini engineers hold significant competency with both manned and unmanned systems, operate within a Pt145 environment, and are developing a novel approach to maintenance operations under a Modini owned Continued Airworthiness Organisation (CAO) certification. Significantly, Modini's provided an Operational Analysis (OA) function that provided programme, live and post-mission analysis, which in turn was critical to the client and fed directly into their strategic assessment meetings to drive capability development. 

Modini operational delivery and OA framework demonstrated unwavering commitment to safety and regulatory standards, having to mesh inside a Civil Aviation Authorisation (CAA) Part -145 engineering system. This had never been done before, and was seen as pioneering in the industry.  This is just the beginning.

Pioneering aviation expertise

Modini has a demonstrable track record in drone programme delivery and was the first company to deliver daily, long range, unmanned aircraft operations in the UK civilian market. Modini currently operates a dedicated team of aviation engineers and aircrew, and is pioneering the CAO structure for drones with the CAA. This is a first of its kind delivery model.
