About our aircraft: We own and operate four turbo charged Cessnas; one single engine 206 and two single engine 210s, plus a twin-engine 310. All are capable of photography at altitudes up to 24,000 feet above sea level. We have our own hangar and maintenance facility at the Burbank Airport and our pilots are certified A&P mechanics, minimizing our down time. All pilots and photographers work on a full time basis. All our aircraft are equipped with Global Positioning (GPS) equipment, flight management systems, and TCAD traffic warning systems. The GPS is used for navigation and camera control. This allows greater accuracy in gathering, recording and plotting flight information such as latitude and longitude of exposure points. About our cameras: Our mapping cameras include two L. H. Systems (Leica) RC30s and an RC20. These cameras are 6” focal length (fl) and expose a 9”X9” negative. The RC20 and RC30 are both equipped and surveyed for airborne GPS (ABGPS), and are interchangeable in the Cessna 210s and 310. This flexibility allows us to serve our clients most efficiently. In addition to these, a variety of other cameras are used for non-mapping work, including a 9” X 18” format 24” fl camera, 9”X9” format 12” fl camera, various hand held cameras, and a digital system custom designed for corridor type work such as highways, pipelines, aqueducts, and transmission lines. About our flight services: We fly throughout the Southwest United States; we additionally accept special jobs further away. We have extensive state-of-the-art flight planning equipment including the Track`Air system, and CAD digitizing table. The majority of flight planning is now done digitally. Most of our flight services involve custom work with the mapping cameras, although our other cameras are used frequently. Jobs vary widely from a single vertical spot or oblique view to projects of several hundred exposures. Scales vary from 1”=40’ to 1”=4000’, in black and white, color, color infrared, and black and white infrared. We also provide flight services for clients who are performing airborne data collection with various types of remote sensing equipment, often for research and development.
