Common questions — Drone / Aerial Mapping

How accurate is drone mapping?

With RTK + ground control we typically achieve 2-5cm horizontal accuracy. Without control it is for visuals only — we always recommend control for engineering use.

Can you fly in dense bush?

Yes, but photogrammetry cannot see through trees. For vegetated sites we recommend LiDAR or ground survey for true ground levels.

Are you licensed?

Yes, SACAA ROC-linked licensed pilots with flight logs, maintenance and insurance for commercial operations.
