We do not print a rate here, because the honest one depends on your block sizes, your travel distance and how many flights your season actually needs. What is printed is exactly what each way of buying includes, and what moves the number.
One block, one flight, one report
Seeing whether the map tells you anything you did not already know.
Quoted per block. No calendar, no commitment.
Book a single flightA flight schedule built around your crop
A working holding that wants scouting to happen without anyone remembering to arrange it.
Quoted per hectare per season. Block size and travel distance move it most.
Get a season quoteDocked aircraft across scattered blocks
Cooperatives, estates and contractors covering many holdings at once.
Quoted per station plus per hectare. Scales down as coverage density goes up.
Talk about a fleetAll four of these are visible from your field register, so a quote takes a conversation rather than a survey.
Block size
A 60 hectare block is cheaper per hectare than six 10 hectare blocks, because most of the cost is in getting set up and in the air.
Travel
Distance from the nearest dock or depot. Fleet stations exist to take this out of the price entirely.
Capabilities booked
A thermal irrigation flight and an RGB weed scan are different aircraft configurations and different processing.
Flights per season
A weekly disease cadence through the risk window costs more than two mapping flights a year, and is worth more on the crops that need it.
Do we have to buy a drone? No. That is the point of the service model. The aircraft, the pilots, the registration and the insurance are ours, and they earn their keep across every farm we fly rather than sitting in one shed for forty-six weeks a year.
What if the season is a washout? Cancelled flights are not billed and are rescheduled where the window allows. If a window closes entirely, the calendar and the invoice both shrink.
Who owns the imagery? You do. It is exportable at any point, in full resolution, along with every derived layer and every record.
Can our contractor use the maps? Yes. Prescriptions export in the formats terminals actually read, and contractors can be given access to the fields they work.
Block sizes and crops are enough for a real number. We will also tell you which capabilities we would not bother with on your rotation.
