This is the plane and Equipment Woolpert is using to fly our LiDAR acquisition this fall. The following is a thumbnail sketch of the acquisition process:

· 272,000 pulses per second is our pulse rate spec for this job.

· Scan pattern is “Triangle” in Leica terminology but yes that could be a called a zig/zag.

· Using our most recent mission we were actually “on-line” a total of 120 minutes. (i.e. With the sensor actually firing, not while turning at the ends of lines nor flying to the lines)

· 272,000 pulses x 60 seconds x 120 minutes = 1,958,400,000 pulses in that mission, and there can be 2 or more returns per pulse depending on what type of area we are in (pavement, forest, field, etc.)

o Furthermore that mission with only 120 minutes on-line time is actually on the low side of what we can do if the weather allows us.

o The total capture for this project will be many billions of points
