Product Capabilities:

4 CONVENIENCE AND POWER
Airborne Inspection is designed for Windows XP and Window 7 on a PC supporting full 32-bit color and multi-media using Microsoft's OLE. Includes: Flight BaseMap preparation, numerous GIS tools and Digitizing Feature List creation.

4 TOTAL SOLUTION FROM START TO FINISH

Let Airborne Inspection take over your project from beginning to end. Use it for: Site Inspection/Planning, Real-time Surveying/Digitizing, Stakeout/Navigation, Map Output and other Decision-making/Deployments.

4 HIGH PRECISION APPLICATIONS

Use Airborne Inspection with GPS for guidance and Heads-up Digitizing to generate accurate Aerial Surveys for features of interest. Compute Length and Area Measurements in the field. Also, use the stakeout function for Point, Line, Offset and Slope Stakeout to stakeout/navigate to previously surveyed features.

4 EASY TO LEARN AND FRIENDLY TO USE
Quick toolbar icons make functions easily accessible. Tools are grouped by function, so you can find all of the Airborne tools on one toolbar. The same software is used in the Field for data capture and in the Office for data processing. Eliminate time learning new interfaces and transferring data between Field and Office.

4 FLEXIBLE
Airborne Inspection works with any GPS receiver capable of NMEA-0183 output (industry standard) and all CMT GPS receivers.

4 ROTATING AND MOVING MAP
Moving/Rotating Map keeps position always pointing “up” on the screen, Automatic zoom and Automatic Scroll modes maintains the map scale and also keeps your current position centered on the screen.

4 POWERFUL NAVIGATION AND STAKEOUT AND MORE
Navigation and stakeout help you get back to where you have been before. Also, there are multiple Heads-Up Digitizing (HUD) modes for convenience. Find CoGo (Coordinate Geometry) utilities for accurate data generation.

The Airborne Inspection Solution:
Airborne Inspection is an all-in-one complete package for aerial surveys. This software combines the power of Scrolling and Rotating Maps, GPS, Heads-up Digitizing (HUD), COGO functions, full Mapping capabilities into one software utility. The Airborne Inventory at the Forest Conservation Authority (a division of Quebec's Ministry of Natural Resources) is used to evaluate/assess damages of all kinds (insects, disease, fire...) caused to the forest of the Province of Quebec. CMT was chosen as the developer to add airborne inspection functions to the PC-Mapper software to automate and speed up the process of data collection and digitizing in an airplane. With a PC Tablet or a Notebook Computer you can run Airborne Inspection in the air and bring a load of data with you. For example, Airborne Inspection software allows you to load multiple aerial photographs or DRG topo maps in the background for assistance in navigation and feature mapping. During the flight data preparation, “flight lines” are created by the Airborne Inspection software to help delineate project areas and break up mapping sessions into grids for easy navigation. Plug in your GPS to show your position and orient the moving/rotating map. Automatic scrolling and zooming help keep you centered while you are doing the digitizing inspection and collecting data directly into the PC. View real-time line length, offset and acreage data on the spot.
Rotating Map
	Set your map to automatically "scroll" or "zoom" as you approach boundaries and Airborne Inspection does the rest to keep you centered and correctly oriented. Let the rotating map function keep you oriented. The software allows rotation of the map to keep you heading "up" on the map (instead of always looking at a "north-oriented" map). This feature assists in navigation by telling you if you need to fly to the "right" or "left" instead of "east" or "west". The example to the left shows a fire line map with the progression of the fire line over three days. Using a heat sensor, the mapping technician can digitize "hot spots and fire lines" on-the-fly using thermal imaging. The hot spot map is then immediately sent to the field chief and field crews on the ground for necessary action.
