Flight Services

Survey-Grade Data. Delivered Ready to Use.

LiDAR mapping, photogrammetry, digital twins, and utility inspections from a veteran-owned flight services team with thousands of combined flight hours and deep roots in professional aviation.

What We Fly

Seven Services. One Standard: Measurable.

Every engagement delivers data your engineers, planners, and crews can measure, share, and build on: CAD, DTM, contours, and orthomosaics.

01

LiDAR Mapping and Surveying

Bare-earth terrain models, contours, and planimetrics from survey-grade LiDAR: the ground truth under the trees, ready for design.

Bare earth $25/acre Planimetric (CAD) $50/acre
02

Photogrammetry and Orthomosaics

High-resolution RGB orthomosaics and site imagery your whole team can open, measure, and share the same day.

RGB orthomosaic $5/acre
03

Digital Twin and 3D Modeling

Faithful 3D models of assets and sites for planning, inspection, training, and the permanent record.

Scoped per asset
04

Utility Inspections

Lines, substations, and poles inspected by thermal, visual, and multispectral sensors. Crew plus aircraft, documented and defensible.

Custom day rate
05

Vegetation Encroachment

Corridor flights that find the growth threatening your lines and access, before it finds them for you.

$32/linear mi
06

Job Site Progression

Repeatable site documentation that shows progress, quantities, and change over time, flight after flight.

$5/acre
07

Volumetric Services

Stockpile, pit, and earthwork volumes your team can trust, without anyone climbing a pile.

From $5/acre ortho $25/acre LiDAR

Not Sure Which Sensor Fits?

Send us the site and the decision the data has to support. We will spec the right aircraft and sensor for the question, not the other way around.

Engagements

How a Job Runs

01

Scope

Send the site, the asset, or the corridor. We define deliverables, airspace, and timeline with you.

02

Quote

You receive a written, scoped quote at the published rates. Nothing flies until you approve it.

03

Fly and Process

Our crews fly the mission and process the data to survey grade, checked by people who sign their work.

04

Deliver

CAD, DTM, contours, and orthomosaics: measurable, shareable files your team can use on day one.
