The Certified Survey Technician (CST) program provides a solid foundation in the fundamentals of surveying, which would be beneficial for anyone interested in pursuing a career in the surveying field, including aerial surveys with drones. While the program does not specifically cover drone operations, the knowledge gained from the CST curriculum, such as understanding surveying principles, calculations, and measurements, would complement your Part 107 UAS license and enhance your overall skillset for conducting aerial surveys. The CST program covers a wide range of topics, including basic surveying calculations, field operations, public land surveying systems, boundary law, and geodetic surveys, among others. This comprehensive knowledge base would enable you to better understand the surveying aspects of drone-based aerial mapping and data collection. By completing the CST program, you would gain a solid foundation in surveying principles and practices, which could be beneficial for your drone-based aerial mapping and data collection activities. However, it's essential to operate within the scope of your drone pilot certification and comply with all applicable laws and regulations governing the practice of land surveying in within the state you are working in.

N8d14'15''W is a bearing line in the NorthWest quadrant reading 8degrees14minutes15seconds West of true North with the equivalent azimuth of 351 degrees 45minutes45 seconds measured clockwise from true North.

In land surveying, a bearing is the clockwise or counterclockwise angle between north or south and a direction. For example, bearings are recorded as N57°E, S51°E, S21°W, N87°W, or N15°W. They are read in degrees (°), minutes (‘), and seconds(“). Looking at your question, there seems to be a typo. It should say North 8°14’15” west. This can be read as 8°14’15” West of North.

Thanks for your comment, Tracey. We've forwarded it to our PR committee (who created the video) to review and respond.

Dear Tracey, We've reviewed your situation and want to provide you with some straightforward guidance, broken down into key points, as representatives of the New York State Association of Professional Land Surveyors (NYSAPLS): 1. Considering a New Land Survey: • Even if advised against it earlier, getting a new land survey can offer valuable insights and peace of mind. •A fresh survey would capture your property's current state, including your home, improvements, and fence 2. Neighbor Concerns and Surveyor Ethics: • Worried about neighbors influencing a surveyor? Licensed surveyors are sworn to protect the interest of the public. They do not advocate for their Client, but rather report unbiased findings of fact. •Your original surveyor's work is based on thorough research and measurements; any changes require strong legal evidence and change in the physical features 3. Open Dialogue with Neighbors: •Communication can often resolve misunderstandings. Consider talking to your neighbors about your concerns. • They might not be aware of the impact of their actions on you. 4. Final Thoughts on a New Survey: •A new survey could provide a clearer picture of your property and help address concerns •If you decide to proceed, please go to the Find A Surveyor section at www.nysapls.org New York State Association of Professional Land Surveyors (NYSAPLS)

@@nysapls Thank you good advice. As for the neighbor communication, I understand and it is good advice in general but these people are not talking to us and when they do they offer us nothing in terms of transparency (even denying knowledge of their down spout extensions on our land that they were seen weed whacking and bringing in a contractor to open up into our stream so it would be visible then agreeing to remove them some day in the future but declining to acknowledge a permission letter I offered to provide them then avoiding us at all costs to leave the plastic pipes on our land 150feet from their house). We are concerned about the surveyor because these people have turned our fence contractor against us, our landscaper and won over the surveyor the last time he was here. He was in love with them and they are not nice people to us. They sicked their dog on us whenever we go on that part of our land and warned us not to go there anymore. Hence the fence/ More detail than you need. Just want to make sure you know I'm not a nutjob but the neighbors are surreptitiously up to something. Thanks -- I'll contact a surveyor to see about a new boundary survey with improvements and ask for all encroachments and easements to be included.

It sounds like you're concerned about adverse possession. I recommend you post Private Property - No Trespassing signs no less than every 75 feet along your boundary in a clear manner. This in itself won't prevent an adverse possession claim but it will increase the difficulty level greatly for your neighbor to succeed. If they still enter your property after doing this then you have no doubt what you are dealing with. I also recommend you place small improvements throughout this area of concern near your boundary. It doesn't have to be a major improvement. A simple tire swing hung from a tree, or a good one is to have a professional landscaper plants some small trees with bracing posts and heavily photograph that operation and keep the invoices. And I would walk in there at least weekly if not more with a Go Pro camera on your chest, videotaping yourself on your land, trimming branches or picking mushrooms or whatever, with your fence and No trespass signs in the background. You want to invalidate any "exclusive use" claims. Finally, lawyers will tell you to give them permission to be in there which will invalidate an adverse possession claims but not entirely. It doesn't prevent them from filing a claim anyway and wasting your time and energy and money or refusing to sign any paperwork acknowledging permission which turns into a "he said, she said" situation. Plus it pretty much ensures you will have your neighbors' present frequently on your land which sounds like what you don't want. Finally, unless you decide to give them permission, I encourage you to place security cameras along your boundary showing the likely access points. Trail cams are cheap and somewhat effective and may even serve as a deterrent. If they enter after posting signage and fencing and you have evidence, you can legally eject them which also kills a possible future adverse possession claim.

I am having the same problem in Florida my neighbor removed not only the pins at the corner of our adjoining properties but he moved all of the pins on my property and in the street so now it's going to cost me more than a normal survey would cost because the surveyor will have to correlate with adjacent streets. I mean what kind of a human being does such vicious things.

Call a surveyor to document their removal. Take that any evidence you have that they took them out to a land lawyer. See what they say. Most lawyers dont want to get involved in boundary disputes nor do most cops.

Same thing happened to us. Crazy neighbor removed pins then beat my husband with his crazy wife. All he got was one year probation for attempting to drown my husband. No lawyer will help us. How’s that for justice in NYS? There isn’t any. Property markers were a waste of money.

Most surveyors use similar markers although state regulations and what is deemed necessary for a job varies. The California Land Surveyors Association should have more resources regarding monumentation in your state. www.californiasurveyors.org/resources.aspx
