How Does Phoenix Flight Planner Help Me?

 

We’re proud to offer Flight Planner as a free, web-based service to all Phoenix LiDAR clients. LiDAR data is heavily affected by sensor, altitude, terrain, and more. Using the Flight Planner tool, Phoenix customers can save time and money by planning missions before going into the field.
  • Calculate your flight plan based on your area of interest (AOI).
  • Estimate your LiDAR swath and point density based on terrain, speed, and more.
  • Anticipate MTA zones that may affect data quality, especially in uneven terrain.
  • Upload a terrain-following KMZ directly to your UAV.
From pilot training to acquisition to post-processing, our goal is to help you maximize your LiDAR investment. Have feedback? Let us know by clicking here.

How Does Flight Planner Work?

Flight Planner is crunching a lot of data, which can be a challenge for some browsers. We recommend using Chrome or Safari, with few or no other tabs open. If equipped, set your browser to use your NVIDIA graphics card.
