Learn about Eagle Eye Innovations and the people at the heart of the organisation.

Siôn Roberts

Siôn, CEO and Founder, formed Eagle Eye Innovations in 2013, before it’s launch in 2014, with the dream of making the operation of drones a reality for people from all walks of life through professional drone training and consultancy. And since then the company has gone from strength to strength, training thousands of drone operators, both in commercial and professional settings, on all classes of platforms worldwide.

With a 22 year RAF career behind him, Siôn started his flying career as an Aircraft Weapons System Operator on the venerable Nimrod MR2, before moving to the MQ-9 Reaper on the RAF’s inaugural 39 Squadron in Nevada and spent his last three years as an Instructor on exchange with the USAF in New Mexico, before realising the exciting, and ever-changing, future opportunities that drones presented to the commercial environment.

Siôn’s vast experience with Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS), and his focus on leading with expertise, positivity and inspiration, has allowed him to grow the EEI Team to what it is today, from the Instructors all the way through the team based at EEI HQ.

Observers Course

Our new 1-day Observers course is designed to expand your RPAS crewing capabilities and de-risk more complex operations through the provision of professionally qualified RPAS safety observers. Utilising proven aviation standards and procedures, our professional and
experienced instructors will guide you through the fundamentals of Crew Resource Management, crew communications, RPAS control and coordination and give you the practical experience you need to maximise the benefits of your RPAS for VLOS operations and beyond.

GVC to RPC-L1 Conversion

If you hold a valid GVC and want to convert to an RPC-L1 qualification in the same category of UAS, under the CAA you are exempt from conducting the theory elements of the course and may progress directly to the practical elements. Therefore, you simply need to book
onto either our conversion course or the practical days of a full RPC-L1 course (provided there is capacity to fit you in). This will provide you with the minimum of 2-hours flight instruction before you attempt the flight assessment. Proof of GVC validity will be required prior to conducting the training.

Bridging Course

This course is designed to qualify you in either Rotorcraft or Aeroplane, noting that you only need to conduct the practical aspects of the course, provided you have successfully passed the full Level 1 course in the other discipline.

(Please note this does not include conversion onto our DeltaQuad platform; that is a bespoke course in its own right).
