adm_geomatics replied to the thread Water leakages captured with drone (Thermal).I have done both ground water locating and facade & roof inspection with thermal. If you're to spot groundwater, cooler times of day—like early morning or late evening—are your best bet. After a chilly night, moist areas in the ground tend to... -
adm_geomatics replied to the thread The FAA NPRM Part 108 — Speak Up by Oct 6!.Honestly, I have read very little and did some research on the likely restrictions for corporate vs smaller DSP application and it does read very restrictive, but it is really early on and your proposal is exactly what we as the smaller...

Like.
I totally agree with your view and statements. That is why, like Part 61 of the FAA regulations, there should be appendices covering all phases of operations, to include training and sign-offs for operators who do ground surveying, agricultural... -
adm_geomatics replied to the thread The FAA NPRM Part 108 — Speak Up by Oct 6!.What is your point of view on this? Personally, as a tenured Part 107 Pilot and knowing the state of mind of a lot of Pilots out there I think it is good that they will start strict on this. Flying little Air and Mavic drones way BVLOS is not a...

What are your views and suggestions regarding tethered drones? The advantage of tethered drones lies in their connection to a ground station via a physical cable (power line and/or data line), enabling continuous power supply, uninterrupted...

adm_geomatics replied to the thread What are your views and suggestions regarding tethered drones?.Tethered drones can also be used for live feed on construction sites, communications relay and security.

adm_geomatics reacted to NDS-Trevor's post in the thread How is everyone delivering data to their clients? with Like.
I’m curious how most of you are handling data delivery right now. Are you just dropping everything in a Google Drive or Dropbox link, or do you have another system in place? When we started National Drone Services, the idea was to build a...

adm_geomatics replied to the thread How is everyone delivering data to their clients?.It depends on the client. Some want the raw unedited photos to cloud storage, some want them uploaded to a cloud processing platform like DroneDeploy and some order the whole package and need maps, contours and maybe some volumetrics. These are...

adm_geomatics replied to the thread DSP.Pilot Contracting Network. Like Zeitview and FlyGuys. There are probably about five right now that you can get work pretty much anywhere and then a bunch of others that focus on just their region.
-
adm_geomatics replied to the thread DSP.An actual DSP or Pilot Contracting Network? There's a big difference. In my experience just do your own thing and supplement by joining every PCN you can. To get hired by an actual, established DSP will require a lot of experience and/or...

adm_geomatics replied to the thread LAANC Approved, Read to fly?.No mind. FAA trumps ATC every day so you did the right thing. That sounds like a grumpy Controller.
-
adm_geomatics replied to the thread LAANC Approved, Read to fly?.Any time I have fly inside the bounds of an airport I notify ATC of take-off and landing. Many times the authorization will actually request this. I'm surprised yours doesn't.

adm_geomatics replied to the thread Drones & High School Football Games.It's well known that drone presence is going to increase across anything that can be considered interesting and entertaining. The actions you mention need to be investigated immediately. If they do not have Part 107 certifications and are not...

adm_geomatics reacted to jaja6009's post in the thread The Facts about the Texas drone crash with
Love.
Working in Public Safety, I see TFR's as being a totally misunderstood point when flying. Whether an agency is operating under Part 107 or Part 91, TFR's are misunderstood. As part of a solid preflight check, the RPIC MUST check for TFR's in... -

adm_geomatics replied to the thread The Facts about the Texas drone crash.I was on-call for the disaster relief effort and inquired about the lack of airspace restrictions with Emergency Sevices. They said that the situation was covered by other agencies and I could be assured it was being handled properly. Nothing was...

adm_geomatics replied to the thread Lidar to photogrammetry mesh layer comparisons.This would be my question as well. First off, how was the LiDAR generated. Manned aircraft, drone? I understand a problem with not having checkpoints from the LiDAR mission but there should be some common features that you can create checkpoints...

adm_geomatics reacted to Dave Pitman's post in the thread Lidar to photogrammetry mesh layer comparisons with Like.
Your project there highlights perfectly why you (and anyone else including the LIDAR survey op) HAVE to prove your work with checkpoints. Understand that RMSE is a mathematical estimate. It can be a very good indicator of precision. But...
