A three flight hour minimum per day may apply. Aircraft/Crew standby time will be charged at 10% of the flight rate per crew member. Overnight per diem rates are charged based on locale, which may be accessed at the government GSA per diem portal.

Due to extreme fluctuations in fuel prices, a surcharge may apply, depending upon areas worked. Please call for contract or volume flight rates, surcharges, and daily minimums.

Aspen operates Type 2 and 3 helicopters along with fixed wing airplanes capable of conducting firefighting support around the United States and Alaska. All helicopters are external load and water bucket capable. Aspen will provide on-site helicopter fuel and rigging support as needed for the project.

Aspen’s airplane fleet has the capability to provide infrared mapping with live stream data to ground support personnel in firefighting or other environmental scenarios.

Aspen Helicopters has extensive experience in LIDAR mapping, both with airplanes and helicopters. All aircraft are available 7 days a week. Reach out to us to schedule your next LIDAR project.

All installation work is FAA Approved. Aspen owns STC SR01649LA for a large interior photogrammetry hatch in Bell 206L “Long Rangers.”

We normally recommend a chase fuel service vehicle for helicopter work, as jet fuel is not readily available in remote locations. All of our aircraft are equipped with automated GPS tracking systems.

Our airplanes are equipped with “Bubble Windows” for vertical viewing, camera ports and large interior photogrammetric hatches that allow for easy, accurate photographs and look-down observer placement. We have a long history of working with the state and federal environmental agencies, as well as private contractors and companies.
