For Remote Sensing Surveys (Category IV), what should Land Surveyors refer to?

In the context of Remote Sensing Surveys, particularly under Category IV, the most relevant and authoritative source for Land Surveyors to refer to is the current standards and applications established by Rule 0820-03-.07(5). This rule outlines the specific guidelines and protocols that should be adhered to when conducting remote sensing activities. These standards are designed to ensure that the surveys are performed with the requisite accuracy and professionalism expected in the field.

Using established rules like 0820-03-.07(5) provides surveyors with legally recognized standards that not only inform their practice but also safeguard the integrity of the survey results. Adhering to these contemporary standards is essential as it aligns with current technological advancements and industry expectations, allowing surveyors to effectively employ remote sensing technologies while maintaining regulatory compliance. This is particularly important due to the nuances and rapid changes in technology that can significantly impact survey methodologies.

In contrast, while local regulations and historical standards may provide some foundational knowledge, they do not replace the specific and updated requirements set forth in official rules like Rule 0820-03-.07(5). Similarly, guidelines from previous regulatory bodies may be outdated or no longer applicable, making direct reference to current standards paramount for ensuring accuracy and compliance in remote sensing surveys
