Philadelphia Helicopter Charters provides the tools needed to complete your land surveys, utilizing the right equipment to provide the aerial photos that are often needed.
Optimized aerial surveys are indispensable for simplifying Right-of-Way (ROW) and comprehensive site inspections, precise topographical data acquisition, and high-definition photographic documentation vital for commercial ventures across Pennsylvania. Helicopter-based surveys provide an unparalleled vantage point for meticulous examination of the varied Pennsylvania terrain, enabling rapid identification of pipeline anomalies, critical assessment of transmission line integrity, and detailed visual documentation of properties. Philadelphia Helicopter Charters specializes in developing bespoke photographic and remote sensing operations, custom-engineered to maximize both technical efficacy and financial efficiency, thereby ensuring superior results for your critical infrastructure and land management projects.
Helicopters offer distinct operational advantages for detailed aerial surveying, primarily due to their superior maneuverability at lower altitudes and slower airspeeds compared to fixed-wing aircraft. While fixed-wing operations are typically restricted by FAA regulations to altitudes of 1,000 feet above obstacles, helicopters possess the unique capability to conduct surveys at significantly reduced heights. This precision enables close-range inspection of critical infrastructure and environmental features, providing engineers and technical teams with an otherwise unattainable, granular perspective on challenging or hazardous zones throughout Pennsylvania. This capability enhances data accuracy and operational safety.
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 Pennsylvania 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.
