Tech/Engineering - Mining & Minerals / Gems / Aerial / geological survey for mining operations
Portuguese term or phrase: linhas de voo
The full phrase is "espaciamento linhas de voo (km)". This term is contrasted with "espaciamento linhas de controle (km)" in a document about geological (aerial) surveys for mining operations. This is mentioned several times in the document which lists the activities involved in these survey flights.

I think the word "espaciamento" does not exist in Portuguese. Very likely it is a lapse or poor translation from a document in Spanish.
Anyway the word in Portuguese is "espaçamento" or "espacejamento".
The correct sentence should be "espaçamento das linhas de voo (km)", which translates into "flight lines spacing".
The same applies to "espaciamento linhas de controle (km)", which should be "espaçamento das linhas de controle (km)" and translates into "control lines spacing".
