How turf and racecourse condition should be tracked after each flight
A condition survey is not finished when the aircraft lands. It is finished when the person responsible for the surface can see this visit against the last ones — and spot a weak zone before it shows from the rail or fairway.
What usually goes wrong
Each flight produces a report. Months later, comparing last season to this one means opening PDFs side by side and guessing which stretch of track or pitch they meant. A weak corner disappears into a site average. Heat, vegetation, and bare ground live in separate files.
What “good” looks like
Same map over time
Each survey lands on the same map as the ones before it.
Readings together
You read vegetation, bare ground, and surface temperature without opening three reports.
Trends, not only snapshots
A zone that is heading the wrong way is visible as a trend, not only a snapshot.
Findable without the flight
The person who was not on the flight can still find the stretch that matters.
Who this is for
Turf and grounds managers, racecourse and golf estates, sports venues, and consultants who need repeat surveys to stay usable as a programme — not a filing cabinet of PDFs.
How Skycat Sensing fits
Skycat Sensing is built for that job: the same place over time, readings on one map, zone by zone. Operated survey flights are quoted separately from Photo or Spatial — the platform is where each survey lands so change is visible.
