Who This Is For

  • Photographers expanding into aerial mapping
  • Pilots interested in survey and data capture
  • Professionals entering geospatial or infrastructure imaging

Important Consideration

This program provides foundational training in aerial mapping and survey operations. It is designed as an initial step toward understanding the workflow and requirements of this field.
Operating professionally in aerial survey work typically requires additional resources and investment, including:
  • Access to a suitable aircraft platform (owned, leased, or rented)
  • Aircraft modifications for imaging and data capture
  • Specialized camera systems and mounting equipment
  • Professional-grade photogrammetry and processing software
Participants should view this course as an introduction to the tools, processes, and considerations involved in entering the aerial survey industry.
