Airdata UAV|Drone Safety Verified Badge

Slick's Drone Services is operated by Charles Schlicher Jr, based in Crowley, Louisiana. Six years flying, with the past three focused on commercial mapping, inspection, and data acquisition for construction, solar, and telecom clients across Acadiana and beyond.

Every job runs on the same RTK/PPK workflow, using known ground control and standard coordinate systems, so the data holds up whether it's feeding a construction schedule or a client's internal review.

Deliverables are provided for visualization, planning, and project support. Slick's Drone Services is not a licensed land surveyor, and no deliverable should be relied on as a certified survey. For certified surveying services, consult a licensed Professional Land Surveyor.
