It is often a practical option for sites that are fenced, active, large, or difficult to cover efficiently from the ground. The method can help capture current conditions without adding unnecessary disruption, but the best approach still depends on access, airspace, and the deliverables you need.
Timing depends on scope, weather, airspace, site access, travel, and the requested deliverables. AMI reviews those details during regular business hours and then gives a project-specific response instead of a generic turnaround promise.
Expect a scope review first, then a collection plan matched to the site and deliverables, followed by processing and delivery of the agreed outputs. Depending on the project, those outputs may include imagery, point clouds, surface models, profiles, or CAD and GIS-ready files.
Cost varies by site size, complexity, access, processing effort, and whether the work needs to be combined with other survey methods. A project review is the best way to get a meaningful quote because it ties pricing to the actual scope instead of a rough guess.
The biggest mistake is treating all aerial data as interchangeable. Another is not defining the end use, which can lead to the wrong deliverables or an incomplete scope. A short conversation up front helps match the method to the project and reduces the chance of rework.
