Fixed-wing Aircraft Services
The bulk of RC&A's flight services are performed by fixed-wing aircraft. Each ship has been extensively modified to accept gyro-stabilized camera systems as well as other remote sensing instruments
All aircraft are equipped with Track'air flight management systems and will accept the latest dual frequency GPS or Glonass receivers.
Standard camera equipment is a Leica RC-30 with forward motion compensation and a gyrostabilized platform. The reputation of the RC-30 camera is without equal–this system has proven itself through thousands of images all over the Eastern United States.
