Islander

Hi Guys

Im new to the forum and also a non pilot. Over the last two years a twin prop grey aircraft has been flying very orgnised patters over my home area..Having looked through my powerful binos and checked on net im pretty sure that its an islander. Stupid question but why would a plane fly for 5 hours at a time going over the same area in very tight flight paths..My freinds did not believe me but they have all seen it. Ive also seen it in with another plane..it flies at around 5000 feet sometimes days at a time...im guessing mapping or surveying...oh and it also flies at night!! .
