Helicopter Aerial Survey


Sydney Ariel ViewOur executive helicopters are the ideal solution for aerial surveys of the Sydney Metropolitan area and beyond. Using a helicopter for an aerial survey will avoid the time delay of congested roads and traffic and allow multiple sites to be seen in a small amount of time.

Our modern helicopters are perfect platforms for aerial surveys of ground-based assets capable of emphasising asset size, development potential, overall location and proximity to existing and future infrastructure.

Utilising helicopters for aerial survey has been proven to be one of the most efficient methods for assessing multiple site locations and providing a better overview of assets than other ground-based methods.

Whether you are looking to show potential investors a new development site or looking to create CGI overlays on High Definition footage of your location, our range of aircraft and equipment are guaranteed to give you the best aerial survey platform based on your requirements.

We currently provide aerial survey platforms to government and infrastructure entities, construction and development companies as well as investors and real estate agents.

Ensuring the accuracy of data collected during helicopter aerial surveys involves the following:

  • Impeccable, state-of-the-art aircraft and equipment
  • Advanced stabilisation systems for detailed, high-resolution shots and footage.
  • Experienced, regularly trained pilots and crew.
  • Meticulously calibrated and maintained equipment.
  • Detailed flight planning and precise, consistent altitude when required.
  • Flight paths that provide comprehensive coverage of the area to be surveyed and enough time to get flawless photographs.

Several legal considerations in Australia affect helicopter aerial surveys, and they must comply with national safety standards and regulations. Some non-negotiable considerations include:

  • Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) regulations
    All airborne operators are bound by CASA regulations governing low-level flying, airspace, safety, and pilot qualifications.

  • Privacy laws
    The Privacy Act prohibits capturing identifiable images of people without their consent.

  • Environmental sensitivity
    Surveys conducted over environmentally sensitive areas may require additional permits or adherence to specific guidelines to minimise environmental impact.

  • Landowner permission
    Conducting surveys over private property should only be performed after obtaining permission from landowners or relevant authorities.

  • Insurance
    Although reputable, professional companies like Sydney HeliTours will undoubtedly have comprehensive insurance, the survey operation will likely need separate cover to protect against potential damages and other liabilities.

Absolutely, yes. A customised aerial survey by helicopter is acceptable if all the above legal considerations are met and the requests fall within Sydney Helitours's strict rules and safety requirements.

Weather patterns and behaviour are fundamental to planning and executing successful helicopter aerial surveys, and the following must be taken into account:

  • Visibility
  • Wind conditions
  • Precipitation
  • Temperature
  • Sunlight
