Tucson Helicopter Charters provides the tools needed to complete your land surveys, utilizing the right equipment to provide the aerial photos that are often needed.
Effective aerial surveys are instrumental in simplifying detailed right-of-way and site inspections, precise topographical data acquisition, and high-definition imagery capture for commercial development projects. Helicopter-based surveys offer an unmatched vantage point over the Arizona terrain, facilitating critical assessments such as pipeline leak detection, transmission line anomaly identification, and comprehensive property documentation. Tucson Helicopter Charters excels in developing bespoke photographic and advanced remote sensing operations, engineered for maximum technical precision and cost-efficiency to yield optimal project outcomes.
The inherent operational characteristics of a helicopter, specifically its capacity for low-altitude and slow-speed flight, render it the optimal platform for precision aerial surveying. While fixed-wing aircraft are mandated by FAA regulations to maintain a minimum of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle, rotorcraft possess the flexibility to operate at significantly lower altitudes. This distinct capability allows for the close inspection of challenging or hazardous zones, providing engineers with critical perspectives and data otherwise unobtainable through conventional methods.
There is no better way to conduct your visual survey, animal population counts, soil drainage analysis, ROW inspections, pipeline and transmission line inspections, and geographical surveys.

LiDAR Imaging
Light Detection and Ranging, or LiDAR, is a remote sensing method used to examine and measure Arizona topography as well as objects, like vegetation, upon it.
Infrared Imaging
Thermographic IR cameras are used to detect radiation in the long-infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum and produce images of that radiation, called thermograms.
HD Video Gimbal Capture
Modern HD and 4K cameras can be mounted to helicopters, using the proper STCs, with a gimbal to stabilize photos & videos for detailed results.
