Synergy Aviation Ltd.

Synergy Aviation Ltd. is an aerial surveillance company based at Villeneuve Airport in Sturgeon County, Alberta. The company began in 2014 and is part of the Volatus Aerospace group. It focuses on aerial surveillance and pipeline integrity monitoring.

Synergy's pilots and technicians have flown pipeline patrols for more than 20 years. All of its patrol reporting meets or exceeds the requirements of the Alberta Energy Regulator. The company has changed its reporting process based on client feedback, so patrol information is accurate, prompt and easy to use.

Services are grouped by platform: fixed wing, rotary wing and unmanned aircraft. Fixed wing services include HD visual inspections, thermal infrared inspections, gas leak detection, LiDAR surveys, Falcon XL methane detection, Flyscan and 360 degree aerial imagery. Rotary wing surveillance uses precision sensors and real time data for detailed, low altitude monitoring in complex environments.

Unmanned services include optical gas imaging and Skipper NDT. Specialized geomatics covers 3D modeling, ortho mosaic mapping, terrain and volumes, spectral imaging, and landslide and slope hazard work. Additional services include remote pilot operators, chartered flights, tours and a helicopter flight school.

The fleet includes a Cessna 172 for three passengers, a Robinson R44 Raven II for three passengers with an external sling load of up to 800 lbs, and an AS355 TwinStar for five passengers. Average cruise speeds are about 110, 100 and 120 knots.
