Large campuses and a town's worth of common property, read in one pass.

Reston measures 16.1 NM from the DCA VOR/DME, well inside the 30-mile Special Flight Rules Area, so yes. Three things change: authorization, altitude, and NOTAM discipline. Controlled airspace requires prior FAA authorization, which we obtain before we commit to dates. Altitude is set by your parcel's cell ceiling or Part 107's 400-foot limit, whichever is lower. And the DC area airspace is genuinely dynamic, so flights are planned in published windows and re-confirmed against current NOTAMs.

In one mission per site, not one visit per building. We scope the common property as a set — clubhouses, pools and their support buildings, shared roof groups, courts and pavilions — then capture the whole set radiometrically and visually, and report findings grouped by asset so a board and a manager can read the same document. The output is written to be usable in a reserve study or a bid package.

The FAA sets the ceiling twice over: your parcel's published grid cell, and Part 107's 400-foot limit — whichever is lower. Herndon and Reston area cells have logged 400 feet, but cells are adjacent one-mile squares and they differ, so we pull the one over your parcel at its centroid and corners. Where a profile needs to sit above the cell ceiling, the request goes through the FAA's manual authorization path and we file early; Part 107's structure exception affects the altitude that can be requested, not whether authorization is required.

Inside the SFRA, no — the standing UAS security NOTAM limits operations to clear-weather daylight, so we schedule daytime and twilight windows. Thermal contrast does peak in the hours after sunset, so for parcels verified outside the SFRA we schedule night capture; over a wet roof in Reston, twilight and dry-day conditions still produce strong ΔT separation.

Reston is well outside the DC Flight Restricted Zone, which clips only the eastern edge of Fairfax County — McLean, Tysons, and Annandale screen inside it. Aerial work there runs through a TSA/FAA airspace waiver process and is out of scope for us, and we decline those addresses at intake rather than after a schedule has been built. Sites in Reston are standard SFRA work.

Your own contractors and maintenance team. Jinki inspects only and performs no remediation, so the report carries no conflict of interest and every finding arrives with the image pair and measurement attached. You get a mutual NDA by default, and we do not publish client sites, tenant names, or findings.
