Burlington Helicopter Charters provides the tools needed to complete your land surveys, utilizing the right equipment to provide the aerial photos that are often needed.
Precision aerial surveys significantly enhance the efficiency and accuracy of Right-of-Way (ROW) and site inspections, the acquisition of critical topographical data, and the capture of high-definition imagery for commercial development projects. Helicopters are inherently suited for inspecting extensive infrastructure like pipelines for anomalies or detecting operational issues on transmission lines across the Vermont landscape. Burlington Helicopter Charters specializes in designing bespoke photographic and remote sensing operations. These customized solutions are engineered to optimize both technical and financial efficiency, ensuring superior data capture and analytical results for complex commercial and industrial applications throughout Chittenden County and beyond.
Rotary-wing aircraft offer distinct operational advantages over fixed-wing platforms for aerial surveying, primarily due to their superior low-altitude and slow-flight capabilities. While Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations typically mandate a minimum altitude of 1,000 feet above the highest obstacle for fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters can safely operate at significantly lower altitudes. This critical operational flexibility enables close-range inspection of challenging or hazardous zones, providing engineers with an otherwise unattainable vantage point for detailed analysis and data acquisition, crucial for projects throughout Vermont.
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 Vermont 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.
Burlington Aerial Cinematography
Burlington Helicopter Charters provides comprehensive access to advanced resources essential for professional-grade aerial cinematography across Vermont. We facilitate specialized custom shoots by deploying state-of-the-art gyro-stabilized camera mounts, including industry-standard systems such as Tyler Mounts, Wesscam, Cineflex, Pictorvision, and SpaceCam. These platforms are integrated with high-performance specialty cameras like the Cineflex HD, RED Epic, and Arri Alexa, alongside capabilities for 3D and experimental imaging configurations. Our support extends to all facets of your production goals, from dynamic air-to-air sequences to precise ground-to-air shots. We understand the critical collaboration required between flight operations and your aerial Directors of Photography and directors to achieve desired visual outcomes.
