Flying the payload, not just the aircraft — thermal, multispectral and the data behind the picture.
A thermal camera will produce a pretty orange picture almost regardless of how you fly. Producing a picture that supports a defensible conclusion is a different skill, and it is mostly not about the flying.
This course covers what the sensor is actually measuring, why emissivity and reflected temperature matter, when conditions make the data worthless, and how to fly a survey that produces comparable results from one visit to the next.
The same discipline applies to multispectral work: indices are only meaningful if the capture is consistent.
