Growler!!! wrote: » If its a dedicated Digital camera or LIDAR scanner then it will be gyro stabilised. Having flown survey for an Irish company in the past, our limits where plus/minus 5 degrees in pitch and roll. I can't recall the speed limitation but it was based on ground speed. Camera system could cope with up to 20 degree drift in a crosswind situation. Sorties were flown at 8000 feet (FL080) if the weather was good enough. At 3000 feet if not but the amount of lines flown was usually trebled.
