Track. Locate. Capture.
Helicopter Telemetry Tracking & Animal Capture for Wildlife Agencies and Researchers
Following collared animals across mountains, forests and open range takes more than ground crews can cover. HILINE Helicopters Inc provides aircraft-mounted telemetry flights and animal capture support that help biologists locate, monitor and handle wildlife across large, rugged landscapes.

See More of the Landscape
Animals move through terrain that is slow and difficult to search on foot. From the air, telemetry signals carry farther and crews can reach animals quickly, making field seasons more productive and data more complete.
Advantages Over Ground Tracking:
Signal Range: Aircraft-mounted telemetry picks up collars across wide areas from altitude.
Rapid Response: Reach animals and study sites in minutes rather than hours.
Rugged Terrain Access: Work over mountains, canyons and dense forest.
Efficient Field Seasons: Cover more animals and more ground in fewer days.
Our Capabilities
Aircraft-Mounted Telemetry & Capture Support
Our pilots fly low and slow over varied terrain with the steady control wildlife work requires. We equip aircraft for telemetry tracking and work closely with your capture team and biologists so each flight supports your study protocols and animal welfare standards.
We Handle:
Radio and GPS collar telemetry tracking, aerial wildlife location flights, animal capture support for collaring and research, and transport of field crews to remote study areas.
Operational Range:
Wildlife projects across the contiguous U.S. and Alaska, including remote and mountainous habitat.
Who We Serve
State & Federal Wildlife Agencies: Support population monitoring and management programs.
Universities & Researchers: Gather tracking data and complete capture work on schedule.
Tribal Natural Resource Departments: Monitor and manage wildlife on tribal lands.
Conservation Organizations: Support species recovery and habitat studies.
Safety First
Careful Flying for Crews and Wildlife
HILINE Helicopters Inc brings over 40 years of flight experience to low-level wildlife work. We plan each mission around terrain, weather and the safety of your crew and the animals involved.
We coordinate flight plans, telemetry setup, crew briefings, capture procedures and communication with your field team before each flight.
The Process
From Study Plan to Field Data in 3 Steps
Share Your Project: Tell us the species, study area, number of animals and your field schedule.
Mission Planning: We plan flight areas, equipment setup and crew roles around your research protocols.
Field Flights: Our crew flies tracking or capture missions with your team, helping you collect the data you need.
