Professional Helicopter Services has experience in providing airborne geophysical surveys throughout Australia. We have worked in semi-arid regions as well as deserts and are dedicated to providing superior quality platforms for the collection of geophysical data at competitive prices.

The measuring equipment (magnetometers) – installed on helicopters, in either “stinger” or “towed bird” configurations – can be used to make vertical, transverse, longitudinal gradient and / or total magnetic field measurements by using a range of different sensors.

A typical magnetometer installation comprises of some, or all, of the following subsystems:

1. A Sensor
2. An Orienting Gimbal
3. A Signal Processor and/or Compensator
4. An Airfoil to keep the “bird” straight
