1. A method of managing data captured in an aerial camera system, the method comprising:
- mounting at least one tape drive relative to a survey aircraft using a resilient mounting arrangement, the configuration of the resilient mounting arrangement and/or the mounting location of the resilient mounting arrangement selected so as to define a desired fundamental frequency;
disposing a plurality of tape drives in the survey aircraft, the plurality of tape drives for receiving a corresponding plurality of tape cartridges;
commencing an aerial survey so as to produce aerial survey data;
storing the aerial survey data on the survey aircraft directly on at least one magnetic tape cartridge;
completing the aerial survey;
sending the at least one magnetic tape cartridge to a data processing facility; and
retrieving the aerial survey data from the at least one magnetic tape cartridge at the data processing facility.
