KBM’s survey fleet offers a stable, efficient, and reliable platform for aerial surveying. Survey aircraft are strategically selected and modified by our certified and licensed Aircraft Mechanics to ensure safety and high-quality data collection. Our experienced pilots and crews are trained for aerial data collection and follow prescribed flight parameters to ensure the delivery of high-quality data our clients expect

Safety is culture at KBM Aviation and is engrained in all aspects of our operations, from training, to maintenance, to equipment selection. Our 14,000 sq ft hangar is used to stage operations planning, custom configure survey aircraft, operate our flight training unit, maintain our fleet, and train our staff. KBM holds a Transport Canada Approved Maintenance Organization (AMO) license. In-house maintenance ensures all aircraft are maintained to the highest standards and allows a rapid response and dedicated resources of all planned and unplanned maintenance or repairs.
