Shenandoah 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 helicopter-based aerial surveys streamline right-of-way and site inspections, facilitate precise topographical data acquisition, and enable high-definition imaging for critical commercial projects across Virginia. This methodology is optimal for pipeline integrity monitoring, identifying anomalies in transmission line infrastructure, and comprehensive property documentation. Shenandoah Helicopter Charters specializes in developing custom photographic and remote sensing operations, meticulously engineered to maximize technical and financial efficiency, while delivering demonstrably superior project outcomes for stakeholders in the Shenandoah region.
Helicopters offer inherent operational advantages for aerial surveying due to their capacity for lower-altitude flight and reduced airspeeds compared to fixed-wing aircraft. This capability circumvents the FAA's minimum altitude restrictions for fixed-wing operations, enabling significantly more precise data capture. Furthermore, helicopters facilitate safe access and detailed inspection of challenging or hazardous zones, providing engineers and project managers with critical viewpoints otherwise unobtainable, which is invaluable for infrastructure assessments across Virginia.
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 Virginia 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.
