Methodology
Before flying, we agree responsibilities for ground control, coordinates, processing, checks and handover. Formats, delivery date and acceptance criteria follow your project's requirements.
Operational workflow
Boundary, area or corridor, purpose, deliverable, tolerances and deadline: together we establish what must be usable in the project.
We select the platform, sensor or photo–LiDAR combination, capture geometry and ground control. Feasibility is checked for the site.
We prepare the mission, integrate and check the sensor, then check field data before completing the campaign.
We georeference, classify or model the data and prepare conversions for the agreed coordinate systems and formats.
We check the package, report the relevant parameters and provide access to the agreed data for use in the project.
A deadline agreed for the project
For projects accepted on an urgent basis, we deliver the agreed data within 2 calendar days for LiDAR or 7 calendar days for photogrammetry, from order confirmation.
Your firm contracts with the client, coordinates the work and sets its own offer. FAE handles the agreed aerial component: acquisition, processing and handover. Direct communication with the client follows your mandate. Technical control, survey validation and any responsibilities requiring professional authorisation are explicitly agreed for each project.
Quality control
Accuracy, density, control points and checks are defined for the use, terrain and product of each project. The technical proposal documents the agreed criteria before execution.
Operational experience built in the field
FAE archive photographs and a real mission capture show what the service method means in practice: preparation before launch, supervision throughout the flight and planning adapted to difficult terrain.
FAE archive · Rebel Bimotor · field launch
Before the platform leaves the operator’s hands, its configuration, survey payload, centre of gravity, flight plan and field conditions are checked. For the client, this discipline means fewer preventable repeats and more reliable input data for processing.
FAE archive · Predator Octocopter · supervised flight
The operator monitors the platform, sensor and operating conditions as one system. Data is checked in the field so that acquisition remains traceable and any deviation can be identified before the team leaves the site.
FAE mission · approximately 20 km · terrain up to 2,500 m AMSL
This example documents a flight of approximately 20 km in maximum-difficulty mountain terrain and in areas reaching 2,500 m AMSL. Route, endurance, terrain, data link and operational reserves are assessed together; mission performance is not assumed, but verified for the specific site.
The photographs show platforms from the FAE archive as evidence of integration and operating experience; the drones are not products offered for sale. The capture is an operational example, not a universal distance or altitude guarantee: feasibility is validated separately for every project.

You receive the calculated quotation by email. We confirm requirements, feasibility and the delivery date together. For LiDAR and photogrammetry on the same job, describe both results in a single request.
