Survey and Mapping Operations

NEW 2025 Survey Operations, Mapping, Post Processing. Multiple Sensors

We're super happy to be the outright leaders in Survey Ops and Mapping RPAS training here in Australia, and are backing that up with our completely redesigned, from the ground up, Survey Ops and Mapping course for 2025.

This all new course, covers the latest aircraft, sensors and software platforms (such as APAS 5)  from DJI including the DJI Matrice 4 Series. The course takes you through multiple aircraft types - such as DJI M350RTK, DJI M30T, DJI Mavic Multispectral and DJI Matrice 4 and other Enterprise Aircraft. It looks at their use scenarios, their sensors, and comprehensively teaches you how to plan and create mapping missions on these aircraft. How to use D-RTK systems for centimetre level precision data collection, and how, and where to process that data. From visible light imaging to near infra-red (NIR) Multispectral, LiDAR and other light sources.

The course covers theory on the various sensor types, available for the M350RTK such as the P1 Photogrammetry sensor, H30T thermal / RGB sensor and DJI L2 LiDAR

Regardless of your experience, we've been running Survey Ops and Mapping courses for years now. It's dynamic and can be challenging with a wide variety of aircraft and payloads available, with each having a specific type of survey, mapping and search and rescue capability.

This exceptional course is split into two levels, and both train on various aircraft depending on weather, and your requirements

Online study, which is immediately available upon enrolment. This includes the all new 2025 course presentation and associated reference materials, and then, a practical component.

For the practical component,  we'll go out, plan and execute mapping missions. Some of our courses are scheduled, but generally we book these as a more 'private' delivery at your request, or following on from Remote Pilot's Licence courses.

Level 1. This course consists of learning how to  use mapping aircraft, and their software, to collect imagery.. You'll plan and fly missions and gather data ready for post-processing. We'll introduce the use of Ground Control Points and D-RTK Data that are used in Level 2.

Level 2. This course is either combined with level 1 (depending on enrolment - group or private) or taken the day after the Level 1 course. This course extends our data capture into Post-Processing techniques taking and using GCP's and D-RTK, then generating outputs from imagery captured either on-controller (DJI RC Plus and Plus 2), or in DJI Terra, DJI Smartfarm or WebODM.

Survey and Mapping Level 1  : $990
Survey and Mapping Level 2  : $1250

Survey and Mapping 1&2 Bundle  : $2050
