The survey it self is an initial trial using a thermal imaging camera to detect water leaks by creating a leak in a field to see if the camera detects it from 1500ft ish. If this proves to be successfull then i have access to an aircraft which could be modified to suit. Seems straight forward until you look deeper into it.
Not sure where to go from here, it sound's like a job for someone who has the relevant certs but why should they get all the glory and the flying!
