New Orleans 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 streamline critical operations such as Rights-of-Way (ROW) and site inspections, the acquisition of topographical data, and high-definition imagery for commercial projects. Helicopter-based surveys are superior for comprehensive oversight of Louisiana's diverse terrain, providing precise capabilities for pipeline leak detection, transmission line fault identification, and detailed property documentation. New Orleans Helicopter Charters specializes in developing bespoke photographic and remote sensing operations, meticulously customized to maximize technical efficiency, financial viability, and deliver superior actionable results for your specific project requirements.
For precise aerial surveying, helicopters offer distinct operational advantages over fixed-wing aircraft due to their unparalleled ability to maintain very low altitudes and slow airspeeds. While fixed-wing operations are typically restricted by FAA regulations to a minimum of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle, helicopters can legally and safely conduct surveys at significantly lower elevations. This capability, coupled with their ability to hover, allows for meticulous inspection of critical infrastructure and hazardous zones, providing engineers with otherwise unattainable data and perspectives essential for accurate assessment and planning.
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 Louisiana 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.
