About FlyingTV
We are dedicated to aerial filming
FlyingTV is a UK registered company dedicated to aerial filming. You can read more about our crews on this website. The company is lead by broadcaster and 600-hr helicopter pilot Mike Smith. With a 30-year background in live and recorded broadcasting and over 15 years in aviation, Mike started the company because he realised what a nightmare it used to be trying to make an aerial shoot happen.
Rapid response
FlyingTV is customer service driven and we respond rapidly to our clients’ requests. Working to the strict rules of the Air Navigation Order and watched by the CAA, we are specialists in Aerial Work.
Safety first
Our helicopters are maintained by one of the world’s biggest dealers, Heli Air. Licensed engineers check our fleet every 50 hours of flying and our commercial pilots check each machine immediately prior to any mission.
Getting the right shots
Our top priority after safety is getting the shots you need. We only use professional aerial camera operators who have trained on our system, and we prefer these operators to also have a helicopter licence so that they understand the way the machine works.
Approved supplier
FlyingTV is an approved supplier to BBC, ITV and Sky News.
