Aerial surveying and aerial photography services
When you need to cover large or remote areas quickly, crewed aerial surveying delivers data that drones and ground surveys can’t match.
Flying from stable, twin-engine aircraft equipped with advanced camera and sensor systems, aerial surveys capture high-resolution aerial imagery across Australia – from regional townships and floodplains to major infrastructure corridors.
Whether you need precise elevation data, stockpile volumes or vegetation mapping, aerial surveying provides a reliable foundation for decision-making.
Why crewed aerial surveying matters for your project?
Aerial surveying offers speed, coverage and accuracy on a scale unmatched by other methods. It’s the ideal solution for projects that demand:
- Efficient capture of very large areas – Cover thousands of square kilometres in a single sortie.
- Cost-effectiveness at scale – More economical than RPAs or ground surveys for regional or multi-site projects.
- High-resolution imagery and elevation data – Orthophotos, DEMs and DSMs ready for planning, compliance and reporting.
- Reduced disruption on the ground – Data collected remotely, with minimal impact on site operations.
- Ongoing change monitoring – Schedule repeat flights to track land use, vegetation health or project progress.
When to choose aerial surveying with RPAs?
Drone surveys excel at detailed, localised mapping. For surveying very large areas and higher altitude surveys with wide-angle capture, choose manned aerial surveying.
Who needs crewed aerial surveys?
Crewing aircraft with advanced aerial cameras makes it possible to capture accurate data across entire regions, making this service essential for:
Engineers and construction professionals
✔ Corridor mapping for transport and utilities
✔ Surface models for design and verification
→ Provides context for large infrastructure projects
Mining and quarry operators
✔ Stockpile and pit volume calculations
✔ Site condition reporting across large leases
→ Enables better resource planning and compliance
Environmental and land managers
✔ Vegetation health monitoring with multi-band imagery
✔ Post-burn and conservation mapping
→ Tracks ecological change and supports sustainability programs
What do you get from aerial surveys?
Aircraft-mounted systems generate spatial data that’s tailored to your workflow. Landair also integrates aerial outputs with your GIS or CAD environment, ensuring consistency with existing survey datasets.
