Project Overview

Navigating the complex airspace of a busy international airport

Recently, we took on the challenge of surveying Liverpool’s John Lennon Airport. This required meticulous planning and coordination to ensure the safety of all aircraft and personnel.

Hummingbird were tasked with providing a whole site survey for a busy International Airport

Our Approach:

  • Strategic Site Division: We carefully divided the airport into manageable sections to optimize flight paths and minimize disruption from air traffic.
  • Precise Flight Planning: Each section was assigned specific flight plans, taking into account factors like wind direction, visibility, and air traffic patterns.
  • Real-Time Coordination with ATC: We maintained constant communication with Air Traffic Control (ATC) to coordinate our drone flights around incoming and outgoing aircraft.
  • Data-Driven Delivery: After several days of flight operations, we processed the collected data to create a comprehensive and accurate aerial survey of the entire airport.

Results

The processed data was used among other things to generate an accurate,  very high resolution georeferenced image.

A georeferenced image provides a powerful tool for a variety of applications. By accurately aligning the image with real-world coordinates, it enables precise measurements, spatial analysis, and informed decision-making. This technology opens up possibilities for planning, environmental monitoring, and construction.
