FlyRoute Operations

Welcome to Week 1 of the High School Football playoffs! Both our Colorado and Tennessee locations will be supporting teams in their playoff pursuits. Both FlyRoute locations are gearing up to support 25 games with 33 drone operators.

The Tennessee TSSAA Playoff Brackets and Colorado CHSAA Playoff Brackets are now accessible! FlyRoute looks forward to helping teams toward their path to a championship victory.

In Colorado, drone operations are becoming complicated by large amounts of snowfall, with some areas seeing as much as 18 inches of new snow. Because consumer grade drones are not waterproof, in instances where there is precipitation, FlyRoute drone operators will deploy an endzone tower to acquire film from a fixed location.

Welcome to FlyRoute "Drone Photo of the Week". The DPOTW is a contest to spotlight the incredible skills of our talented drone pilots. Each week, one outstanding aerial shot captured by a FlyRoute pilot will be featured across our social media platforms and website. Whether it's a breathtaking sports moment or a stunning landscape of the stadium environment, we want to showcase the creativity and expertise of our team. The winning photo will be selected based on originality, composition, and overall visual impact. Stay tuned to see the most impressive perspectives from the sky, as we celebrate the art of drone photography!
