2. Two Categories:
1. Fixed Wing
– Longer flight time, faster air speed
– Allows large area coverage in a
single flight
2. Rotary Wing
– Less flight time
– Potentially lower altitudes, higher
final ground resolution
– Allows for confined space access,
takeoffs and landings
Types of Commercial UAVs

3. FAA Requirements to Fly Commercially
• Any business decision made from data collected is considered commercial
operation in the eyes of the FAA.
• There are presently two main methods of gaining FAA approval:
1. Certificates of Waiver or Authorization (COA) for public aircraft
2. Section 333 Exemption
• Ensures safe compliance with all set forth regulations
– A drone is equivalent to a manned aircraft
– Policy and procedures from manned aircraft implemented in the use of drones

Case Study – Quarry Scans
Rotor was approached by a major engineering firm with the request to
create unmanned aerial photographic mapping in support of ALTA/ACSM
Boundary Scans for five of their larger gravel and rock quarry properties,
from 250-550 acres each.

9. 9
Rotor utilized a fully automated fixed-wing
drone, using a single 'static point' (GCP) to
capture each quarry site with high-resolution
orthomosaics at 4-5 cm accuracy. The scanning
was completed in 5 days.
