Billings Helicopter Charters provides the tools needed to complete your land surveys, utilizing the right equipment to provide the aerial photos that are often needed.
An effective aerial survey simplifies complex tasks such as Right-of-Way and site inspections, the collection of precise topographical data, or capturing high-definition imagery for commercial projects. Helicopter surveys offer the optimal method to meticulously examine the diverse Montana terrain, identify potential pipeline anomalies, detect issues with critical transmission lines, or acquire detailed video and photographic documentation of property. Billings Helicopter Charters specializes in developing tailored photographic and remote sensing operations, custom-fit to maximize both technical efficiency and financial returns for your specific objectives.
The helicopter's inherent ability to operate at significantly lower altitudes and reduced airspeeds compared to fixed-wing aircraft makes it the ideal platform for detailed aerial surveying. While fixed-wing operations are typically restricted by FAA regulations to a minimum of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle, helicopters offer unparalleled flexibility for close-range observation. This capability is critical for inspecting challenging or hazardous zones, providing engineers and project managers with unique, otherwise unattainable perspectives essential for comprehensive 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 Montana 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.
