Abstract
Flight trials using an inexpensive Garmin GPS receiver, Century 1 autopilot and a Cessna F172H aircraft to acquire block aerial photography are described. The performance of the whole system in the maintenance of constant sidelap and forward lap in block aerial vertical photography was good. However, the system was not good enough to manoeuvre the aircraft accurately on curved flight paths.
