This research job shows a detailed description of different steps of 3D-FTG (Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry) planning and quality control (QC). The characteristics of 3D-FTG system, quality control during the flight and the result of the QC recorded through SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) analysis and the synthetical models of each gravity tensor component, will be presented. Iron oxide mineralization style is usually controlled by both crustal and local scale structures such as major shear, fault zones and lithological contacts. Air-FTG (Airborne Full Tensor Gravity Gradiometry) is nowadays the only existing airborne full tensor gradiometer technology can be used for both detailed and regional surveys. The system takes real time measurements of gravity gradient field in three orthogonal directions and at same time compensates for bias in the orientation and accelerations of the aircraft.
