Efficient Coverage
Aerial spraying and topdressing allows for fast, consistent, and accurate application of products over large or hard-to-reach areas, regardless of terrain or ground conditions.
Cost-Effective
Aerial services often prove to be more affordable than ground-based methods, particularly in challenging environments where accessing crops or fields by land would be difficult or time-consuming.
No Ground Damage
Unlike ground sprayers, helicopters leave no wheel marks or damage to the crop or pasture, preserving the health of your land.
Optimal Product Penetration
The downwash effect from helicopter rotor blades pushes spray deep into plants, improving the efficacy of the chemicals used
Lower Water Usage
Aerial spraying typically requires lower water volumes compared to ground spraying, reducing water costs and environmental impact while ensuring efficient application.
Rapid Response
Helicopters can cover large areas quickly, allowing for timely interventions during critical periods, such as before pest infestations or during weather-sensitive seasons.
Hassle Free GPS Mapping and Tracking
Our helicopters are equipped with advanced Tabular GPS tracking systems, ensuring precise mapping and execution for all your spraying and topdressing needs. With Tabular, you can easily map your property online—whether it’s the whole farm or a few paddocks. This data is then integrated directly into our helicopter’s system, reducing unnecessary boundary flights and the need for in-person coordination. Simply map out the areas you want treated and mark any hazards, like power lines or sensitive crops. Once the job is done, you can review the completed application online.
With our GPS mapping and tracking, you save time and ensure every product reaches its intended target.

Also, the bottle of wine was a real neat touch so thank you for that. It was real neat that you flew over our farm, and Luka said he couldn’t believe how clear you can see from up in the helicopter.

frequently asked questions
What are the benefits of aerial spraying over ground spraying?
Aerial spraying provides consistent and accurate coverage, especially over challenging terrain. It’s faster, more cost-effective, and doesn’t leave wheel marks, unlike ground-based sprayers. The downwash from rotor blades also helps ensure deep penetration of the product into crops.
What crops can you spray with helicopters?
We can spray a wide range of crops, including pastures, scrub, forestry, and glasshouse roofs. We also offer specific services like facial eczema spraying and insecticide spraying for targeted crop protection. Market gardens can be done with ease, this has benefits when it’s too wet for tractors.
How accurate is your aerial topdressing?
Our helicopters are equipped with Tabular GPS tracking systems, ensuring precise placement of fertilisers, seeds, or bait across all types of terrain. You can trust us for consistent, even coverage without the need for an airstrip.
Do I need an airstrip for topdressing?
No airstrip is required. We can load from trucks, bags, or bulk bins directly at your location, making it a flexible and convenient option regardless of ground condition

We can apply any aerially approved agri-chemcials, including liquid fertiliser, lime, slurry, and bulk or bagged fertiliser.
