A disciplined approach to aerial survey.

How we scope, plan, fly and deliver survey projects.

Principles

Seven principles we work to.

Good survey data starts long before take-off. It depends on a clear scope and careful planning.

  1. 01

    Aviation experience

    Survey work is aviation work first. Our team brings worldwide flying experience, with extensive operations in Africa.

  2. 02

    Careful project scoping

    We agree the objective, area, outputs and specification in writing before anything is planned.

  3. 03

    Operational planning

    Missions are planned around aircraft performance, terrain, weather, airspace and permissions.

  4. 04

    Appropriate acquisition methods

    We choose the method that fits the objective and explain the trade-offs, including when another method would serve you better.

  5. 05

    Data quality and agreed deliverables

    Data is processed and checked against the agreed specification. You receive what was scoped.

  6. 06

    Client communication

    One point of contact, regular updates during acquisition and early warning of anything that affects the schedule.

  7. 07

    Delivery aligned to requirements

    Outputs are delivered in your coordinate system and formats, ready for your own software and teams.
