Part 107–certified and backed by more than a decade of aviation experience as a fixed-wing pilot (licensed since 2013), SkyTrace Drones LLC delivers professional aerial mapping, inspections, and real estate imaging across Illinois and the Midwest. Every mission is executed with strict safety protocols and the high operational standards developed through years of manned-aircraft flight.

Advanced platforms—including the Matrice 4E/4T and Mini 5 Pro—are used to capture precise, high-quality visual and geospatial data tailored to each project. Capabilities include photogrammetry, roof and solar inspections, thermal capture, property documentation, and construction progress imaging. All deliverables are cleanly organized and ready for GIS, engineering, and asset-management workflows.

To support full-day field operations, SkyTrace maintains an extensive battery inventory for both the Matrice and Mini platforms, enabling efficient completion of large-scale or multi-site projects without downtime. The operation carries $1,000,000 in liability coverage and holds both TWIC and OSHA-10 certifications to meet commercial, industrial, and healthcare site requirements.

SkyTrace is committed to reliability, safety, and clear communication from planning through delivery. Whether the need is detailed mapping, inspections, thermal imaging, or property visuals, clients can expect fast turnaround times and consistently professional results.
