The quality of the data used to construct the magnetic depths image is a function of the flight line spacing, along line sampling, flying height and positional accuracy. Surveys undertaken with a flight line spacing of 500 m or less were flown at an altitude of 60 - 100 m above ground level. Surveys which employed a flight line spacing in excess of 500 m were flown at an altitude of 150 - 400 m.
