Aerial Imagery FAQ — Provo, UT
What resolution aerial imagery can I get in Provo?
Our drones capture imagery at 1-5 cm ground sampling distance (GSD), meaning each pixel represents 1-5 cm on the ground. Higher resolution is available for smaller sites requiring detailed inspection.
What is an orthomosaic?
An orthomosaic is a geo-referenced aerial image created by stitching hundreds of individual photos into a single, seamless, map-accurate image. It corrects for lens distortion and terrain relief, producing a measurable, survey-grade image.
How quickly can aerial imagery be delivered in Provo?
Standard aerial imagery projects in Provo are delivered with 1-2 days turnaround. Orthomosaics and geo-referenced products may take additional processing time depending on data requirements.
Drone Regulations FAQ — Provo, UT
Can I fly a drone on the BYU campus in Provo?
Brigham Young University is private property. Drone operators should coordinate with BYU security and facilities management before flying on or near campus. The university may have restrictions on drone overflights for security and safety reasons. Check with university administration for current policies.
What drone services are most needed in Provo?
BYU campus construction monitoring and research facility expansion are primary needs. Silicon Slopes tech office construction (Qualtrics, Vivint) creates commercial data collection demand. Residential development requires topographic data collection and progress monitoring. Downtown redevelopment and the Provo River corridor create ongoing data collection needs.
Does Provo have controlled airspace?
Provo Municipal Airport (PVU) has Class D airspace. Drone operators flying within the Class D radius need LAANC authorization. The airport serves general aviation and increasing commercial service. Check the LAANC grid for authorization levels.
How does Provo elevation affect drone flying?
Provo sits at approximately 4,500 feet elevation in the Utah Valley. The surrounding Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically to over 11,000 feet. The valley elevation reduces drone performance. The mountain proximity creates variable wind conditions, especially in afternoon. Summer temperatures above 95 degrees compound the density altitude effect.
Can I fly a drone over Utah Lake near Provo?
Utah Lake is a large freshwater lake west of Provo. Drone flights over the lake are generally permitted under FAA Part 107 rules, as the lake is state-owned water. However, operators should be aware of the risk of over-water flying and maintain visual line of sight. Utah Lake State Park on the eastern shore may have state park drone restrictions.
What is the Silicon Slopes tech corridor and how does it affect aerial imaging?
Silicon Slopes is the tech corridor along the Wasatch Front from Provo to Lehi, home to companies like Qualtrics, Vivint, and numerous startups. The tech industry expansion creates office building construction, campus development, and residential growth, all requiring aerial imaging, construction monitoring, and aerial documentation services.
