My company is an environmental consulting firm. We have recently rolled out drone services. We have project site which is an industrial facility with a subsurface chlorinated solvent-contaminated groundwater plume. There are residential properties adjacent to and extend three blocks away from the industrial facility that may be impacted by this plume (potential vapor intrusion). Our first drone mission for this project is to just shoot some high-resolution photos with the P4 Pro of the industrial facility and the adjacent residential properties. This area is approximately 144 acres. We will then stitch the photos together and print on our large plotter. This photo doesn't need any geo-referencing at this time.
We will not be flying over the residential homes and streets because we would need the FAA waiver to fly over human beings, which as you all know, is very difficult to obtain from the FAA. The challenge is that I want to be certain that the P4 Pro's camera has a wide enough focal length to capture this 144 acre area from at or under 400 ft. AGL. Of course, the lower the altitude, the better. Yes, we could simply drive to the site with the drone, but the location is 100 miles from our office, and this drone mission won't happen until March. So, is there anything available that simulates the field of view from a P4 Pro at various altitudes AGL?
