St. Louis 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 Right-of-Way and site inspections, topographical data acquisition, and high-definition imaging for commercial projects. Helicopter surveys provide unparalleled perspectives of Missouri's diverse terrain, facilitating precise pipeline leak detection, comprehensive transmission line diagnostics, and detailed property assessments. St. Louis Helicopter Charters custom-designs photographic and remote sensing operations, optimizing technical performance and financial efficiency for superior results.
Helicopters offer distinct advantages for aerial surveying compared to fixed-wing aircraft, primarily due to their low-altitude and slow-flight capabilities. While FAA regulations mandate fixed-wing aircraft maintain at least 1,000 feet above obstacles, helicopters can operate at significantly lower altitudes. This enables precise inspection of challenging or hazardous zones, providing engineers and project managers with critically unattainable perspectives across the St. Louis region and throughout Missouri.
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 Missouri 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.
