Background

Aviation has been a constant thread throughout my life. I'm currently working toward my Private Pilot Certificate — a goal that grew naturally from years of hands-on work in and around aircraft. That passion for flight led me to enlist as a Chinook Helicopter Mechanic (15-U) with the Nebraska Army National Guard, where I work on one of the most capable heavy-lift helicopters in the U.S. military.

I'm Kaden Wegner, co-founder of SkyGUARD. Growing up with a hands-on technical background — from aircraft systems to software development — I've always been drawn to solving real problems with precision tools.

My time in the Guard has taught me that documentation isn't optional. In aviation maintenance, a record that's unclear or incomplete can have real consequences. I brought that same standard to roof inspections — every photo labeled, every finding summarized, every deliverable shareable and professionally structured.

I'm also a co-owner of Service Affiliates Nebraska, focused on property damage documentation and contracting. That experience working directly with contractors and adjusters showed me a gap: the industry needed faster, safer, and more consistent aerial documentation. SkyGUARD is my answer to that gap.

Credentials

Qualified, insured, and authorized to operate where others can't.

Certification

FAA Part 107 Certified

Federal certification required for all commercial drone operations in the United States. Covers airspace regulations, weather minimums, and operational safety requirements.

Insurance

Commercial Liability Insured

Every flight is covered. Contractors and property owners can request a certificate of insurance prior to any job.

Airspace Authorization

Offutt AFB (KOFF) Cleared

Authorized to operate within the controlled airspace surrounding Offutt Air Force Base — an authorization most operators don't hold.

Equipment

Professional hardware and a hands-on approach to every deliverable.

Primary Aircraft

DJI Air 3

Dual-camera platform with a 1/1.3" CMOS main sensor, 48MP stills, 4K60 video, and omnidirectional obstacle sensing. Compact enough for residential work, capable enough for large commercial roofs.

Imaging

High-Resolution Stills

48MP captures on every flight. Orthomosaic top-down, slope-angle, and close-up detail shots — consistent framing and naming on every job so nothing gets lost in review.

Reporting

Hand-Built PDF Reports

Every report is put together personally — not auto-generated. Photos are selected, labeled, and annotated by hand so the finished document actually communicates something useful.

Pre-Flight

Airspace & Regulatory Compliance

Before every flight we confirm we're clear of restricted or controlled airspace and that our operations are fully compliant with current FAA regulations.
