About CCADS

An operator, not an equipment owner.

CCADS is run by Nathan — Director and Chief Remote Pilot — who started flying FPV drones nearly a decade ago. That's manual piloting instinct and situational awareness, built by hand, not just supervising an aircraft that flies itself. It's the difference you feel on every job.

Who we are

Farming in our blood, flying in our hands.

We know how hard the primary producers of Australia work — because we're part of that world, not visiting it. CCADS pairs that ground-level understanding with genuine aviation discipline: CASA-approved operations and procedure manuals, EPA chemical accreditation, and a pilot who has logged the hours the hard way.

Based in Coffs Harbour and servicing the greater New South Wales, we run two lines of work: survey-grade remote sensing, and licensed agricultural spraying, spreading and heavy lift. Both are flown by the same operator, to the same standard.

The fleet

Task-specific aircraft from one eco-system.

Spray / spread · workhorse
DJI Agras T-50
24 L/min spray, 108 kg/min spread, 103 kg MTOW. Our most-flown aircraft — covers undulating and hilly ground where the larger T-100 can't work as efficiently.
Spray / spread · broadacre
DJI Agras T-100
16–18 ha/hr at 100 L/ha in a broadacre setting — clear, long straight runs. Higher payload and flow than the T-50; rates fall as terrain, trees or other obstacles come into the mix.
Sensing / inspection
DJI Matrice 300
LiDAR and inspection platform. Paired with the DJI P4 Multispectral for crop-health work.
Cinematography
Autel EVO II Pro
6K / 4K media. Access to cine-lift FPV RPA with RED Komodo for film-grade aerial video.
