Side lap is the overlap of adjacent flight strips. Side lap is required in aerial
photography to prevent gaps from occurring between flight strips as a
result of draft crab, tilt, flying height variations, and terrain variations. Draft
is the term applied to a failure of the pilot to fly along planned flight lines. It
is often caused by strong winds. Excessive drifts are the most common
cause for gaps in photo coverage; when this occurs, reflights are
necessary.
