Source and currency
- Source: BEV “Currency of orthophoto surveys, color and infrared” (Aktualität Orthophoto Operate Farbe und Infrarot).
- The areas show where a survey is actually visible in the orthophoto. A survey can have several areas.
Notes
- Date information is the period of the survey, not a daily date.
- A flight block is an operat, not a single flight day: there is no daily date, only the period of the operat; an operat can last up to three months.
