Drone aerial thermal imaging in Mont-de-Marsan
In Mont-de-Marsan, thermography quantifies what the heating bill hints at: every façade and roof plane gets its own heat-loss map, a sound basis for prioritising insulation. With 29,807 inhabitants, Mont-de-Marsan generates steady demand in Nouvelle-Aquitaine: a pilot covering the area prices your mission within one working day.
The local economy blends defence, administration, food production (poultry, maize, nearby Armagnac) and forestry — the Landes de Gascogne forest, western Europe's largest planted forest, surrounds the town and faces summer overflight restrictions during fire-risk periods. Drone missions: agriculture and forestry, construction monitoring, heritage, communication for the poultry and Armagnac sectors. Prefecture of the Landes at the confluence of the Douze and Midou rivers (forming the Midouze), Mont-de-Marsan is above all, for drone pilots, a city under military air authority: air base 118, one of France's largest, fields Rafales, test squadrons and the air-warfare expertise centre — its prohibited and restricted zones cover much of the sector, and any local mission is prepared with the drone map and, often, coordination with the base.

Airspace and formalities in Mont-de-Marsan
Thermography in Mont-de-Marsan often means flying at dawn, when thermal contrast peaks: inside the no-fly area (Zones interdites et réglementées de la base aérienne 118 (Rafale, expérimentation)), the authorisation must cover those specific slots — we state it in the request.
Drone thermography follows building-inspection rules — open category above the site, specific category in dense areas — plus the sensor's own constraint: flying at times of strong thermal contrast. Full regulations and rates: aerial thermal imaging across France →

Frequently asked questions
Aerial thermal imaging in Mont-de-Marsan: what budget should you plan?
Allow €500–1,800 per job — the 2026 French market range, including regulatory preparation, flight and delivery. Build the overflight-authorisation lead time for Mont-de-Marsan into your schedule: several weeks depending on the case.
When is the best time for thermography in Mont-de-Marsan?
Heating season, October to March: you need at least a 10 °C gap between inside and outside for meaningful readings. In Mont-de-Marsan (Nouvelle-Aquitaine), winter dawn slots give the best contrast; for photovoltaics it is the opposite — full summer sun.
How much solar capacity can be inspected in one day?
An automated flight covers 10 to 20 MWp per day depending on the plant layout, with automatic hot-spot detection and each faulty module located by its coordinates.
