Description
Use Google Earth to assist you with your site survey. We walked through creating a project in Google Earth Web. Be sure to create a point, line, or polygon for all of your major project areas/sites. Be sure to define your area of operations with a polygon, and define local and regional areas of interest with points.
Use the Site Survey Template
Combine the remote work that can be done with Google Earth Web with the pictures you took on site and combine the local pictures and the remote information (satellite imagery)
BE THOROUGH AND DETAILED

Site Survey
You will need to assess the whole site and decide whether or not the flight plan needs to be adjusted or special precautions taken to mitigate risk. The complete site area should be assessed for potential hazards before the flight takes place. These include objects and structures, people, animals, bodies of water, power lines, airports & flight paths, residential housing and industrial activity.
Site: Mt. SAC Soccer Field
Mission: Inspect the two centrally located light towers for wear/corrosion
