With rules changing in the UK around commercial work later this year, I've a couple of contacts who are landowners asking about doing some straightforward mapping of their land (mainly to get a record of bracken coverage and the like)
One of the areas is flat woodland with no hills or structures nearby that I could use as a launch/lookout point.
I could quite easily launch from a clearing, let the Mavic do it's thing following a set course and return, but once airborne and say 20m away my LOS will be obscured by trees.
The question is how would a pro survey this type of land while keeping VLOS or would it only be possible under elevated permissions from the CAA?
