This work presents our approach to sensor and coverage path planning for the monitoring of a set of aircraft emergency landing sites with a single onboard camera in the context of the MOREALIS project. Due to ground sample distance requirements of the hazard detection, often only a part of a single landing site can be processed in one view. Therefore, to get an overview of the complete hazard situation, a monitoring sequence for multiple landing sites must be created and combined with an area specific coverage plan. For this, we investigate different combinations of methods on a dataset of landing sites regarding their capabilities of on landing site hazard detection as well as minimization of the time required for a complete scan.
