CAA launches AI survey

The aviation industry continues to embrace the transformative power of Artificial Intelligence (AI). It already enhances safety and efficiency through predictive maintenance, aiding air traffic management, and refining pilot training with advanced insights and simulations. Understanding what AI will mean for the CAA and how it will affect the way we work and how we regulate is a crucial part of this strategy work.

The CAA have created a survey that focuses on how they regulate AI. Your support in helping create a strategy for the safe and secure use of AI in aviation would be greatly appreciated.

The survey will close Friday 29 March 2024. More information is available on the CAA website

New 4th edition of the Metric Survey Specifications for Cultural Heritage published

The new 4th edition of the Metric Survey Specifications for Cultural Heritage has just been published online by the Geospatial Survey team of ARPAS-UK Member, Historic England. The third edition was published in 2015, and this new edition contains the most notable advance being the ubiquitous use of multi-image, structure from motion photogrammetric software and drones to capture aerial photography.

This latest edition is now entitled “Geospatial Survey Specifications for Cultural Heritage” and incorporates several advances in geospatial surveying technology since the previous version was published in 2015. The most notable is the now widespread use of multi-image, structure from motion photogrammetric software and drones for capturing low-level aerial photography of heritage buildings, sites, and landscapes.

It should be very useful to those specifying survey work throughout the historic environment sector and academics researching building conservation.

This new specification, together with an accompanying project brief template, is free to download.
