Serving Santa Rosa
Aerial overwatch & estate monitoring in Santa Rosa, California
Wraith Aerial is based in Santa Rosa — the county seat of Sonoma County and the largest city in Northern California north of the Bay Area. We provide discreet, owner-authorized aerial overwatch for private events, plus aerial monitoring for estates, vineyards, and rural property across the Santa Rosa metro area.
The lay of the land
What we cover in Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa anchors Sonoma wine country. It is home to Luther Burbank Center for the Arts, the Wells Fargo Center, and dozens of estate properties in Fountaingrove, Bennett Valley, and the Mark West / Larkfield corridor. The surrounding hills include working vineyards, historic farmsteads, and remote estates that sit well outside what a ground-based security team can effectively walk.

Why aerial fits
Why drone overwatch suits Santa Rosa
Santa Rosa terrain is exactly what drone overwatch was built for. Hillside estates with long perimeters, mature oak canopy that hides ground threats from the eye, vineyard rows that funnel arrivals along predictable paths, and wide-open agricultural land between properties — all of it reads cleanly from 200 feet up. A single licensed pilot with a thermal-capable airframe sees what a four-person ground team would miss.
FAA & airspace
Airspace around Santa Rosa
Most of Santa Rosa sits outside controlled airspace, with the Charles M. Schulz–Sonoma County Airport (KSTS) to the northwest creating a Class D / E ring that requires LAANC authorization for flights inside it. Wraith Aerial files LAANC requests in advance for every flight that touches controlled airspace, and we never operate outside what your property authorization and the FAA permits.
Wraith Aerial flies under FAA Part 107 commercial rules on every engagement. All flights are owner-authorized over property the client owns or controls. We monitor the property and perimeter, not your guests.
