Airport Aerial Photography
Airport Aerial Photography is conducted under the Aeronautical Survey Program, which provides position, height, orientation information, and maps needed for safe air navigation. The surveys provide critical information about airport features and about obstructions to air navigation. The FAA also uses the surveys to establish airport approach and departure procedures, determine maximum takeoff weights, update aeronautical publications, and for airport planning and construction studies.
