The Beechcraft King Air B200 was added to the Slagboom and Peeters Aerial Surveys fleet a few years ago. The aircraft can be used anywhere in the world and offers an excellent platform for vertical aerial photography.
The Cessna Citation II with 2x 2500LBS Pratt & Whitney JT15D-4 engines, has been part of the fleet since 2015. The Citation has a cruising speed of 746 km/h. It can fly up to an altitude of 12 kilometers or 39,000 feet. The range is 3700 km.
Both aircraft are mainly used for vertical aerial photography. The turbine engines use kerosene which makes the aircraft very economical at higher altitudes and also suitable for operations in Africa and Asia for example. AVGAS is often not available in these areas. The pressurized cabin makes it unneceserray to refill oxygen for high flights which makes the operation very independent.
The Cheyenne has a cruising speed of 245 knots (450 km/h). With the high speed a very high production can be made in a short period. The speed and the large range make the ferry flights to any location very efficient. The ceiling (maximum height) of this aircraft is 28,000 feet (8,5km).
Our Piper Chieftains are used for all types of collection. Both aircraft have two camera hatches so that multiple products can be collected simultaneously during one flight.
These aircraft are ideally suited as platforms for Geo-oblique products. The aircraft are equipped with a large camera hole as standard and the Italian design combines low fuel consumption with a very reasonable cruising speed. Furthermore, the extra fuel tanks allow for long flights. The aircraft is mainly used in the Netherlands with our own geo-oblique camera.
A special aircraft in our fleet is the PH-SLA, active since 1976. This aircraft is used for projects where speed is less important or even desirable, such as LiDAR recordings at low altitude.
The Cessna 180J is Slagboom and Peeters’ first aircraft. This aircraft is used for Geo-oblique aerial photography. It is very suitable for flying smaller projects or railways and highways because it can be positioned easily and quickly on the next flight lane.
