Swedish term or phrase: flygmätning
Hi everyone!
I'm stuck with the term "flygmätning"... can anyone please help me out? Below more context:
"flygmätning innebär att man testar navigationsutrustning för att kontrollera att utrustningen anger korrekta värden"
Thanks in advance

Calibration may be what is intended in this context, but the word is often used to refer to surveying. As far as I can see, the calibration is performed by means of surveying and comparing the displayed results with the actually observed poition.


Luftfartsinspektionens definitionssamling: flygmätning = Med flygburen mätutrustning utförd kontroll av radionavigeringsanläggnings prestanda


According to another source: geofysiska flygmätningarna = airborne magnetic and radiometric survey (http://www.aktietorget.se/NewsItem.aspx?ID=62114)


The Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Co translates flygmätning med laserskanning (LIDAR) as Aerial photography and airborne
laser scanning (http://www.skb.se/upload/publications/pdf/P-05-223webb.pdf)

Plenty more similar references here.
