Study Notes
Field Notes Integrity
- Field notes must be recorded in the field
- They must be original, not copied
- No erasures are permitted
Corrected Bearing Calculation
- If a forward sight (FS) is 192 degrees and the back sight (BS) is 10 degrees, the corrected bearing is 191 degrees.
- Calculation: 192 + (10+180)/2 = 191
Good Tie Points
- Examples include road junctions
- Feature captured with GPS (GPS'd FC)
- Identifiable features from photos
Map Scale Comparison
- A 1:5,000 scale map is larger than a 1:500,000 scale map.
Errors from Mis-adjusted Declination
- Systematic error
Resetting Declination
- Magnetic North moves, requiring annual declination adjustments.
Calculating Field Distance from Map
- If the map distance between points A and B is 5.0cm on a 1:1500 map, the field distance is 75.0m.
- Calculation: 5.0cm * 1500 = 7500mm = 75.0m
Azimuth Conversion
- An azimuth of N 25° W is equivalent to 335 degrees.
- Calculation: 360 - 25 = 335
Compass Bezel Lines
- Orienting lines
Contour Characteristics
- Contours never cross or split.
- Contours also never end.
Forest Cover Notation
- For a stand with Douglas-fir dominance and less than 20% western red-cedar, the notation is F(C).
Point of Control (POC) Elevation Calculation
- If a POC has a slope distance (SD) of 33m at -19% to a falling corner with an elevation of 127m, the elevation at the POC is 133.2m.
Elevation Error Calculation
- If the slope distance (SD) is 43.8m at 15% from an elevation of the end of traverse (EOT) to a benchmark with an elevation of 365m, and the carried elevation is 354.3m, the elevation error is 4.2m.
Safety Meeting Discussion Points
- Hazards
- First aid procedures
- Emergency response protocols
- Check-in procedures
Bird's Eye View Equivalent
- Plan view
Definition of Surveying
- Surveying is the art, science, and technology for establishing and measuring lines, distances, angles, and elevations on or beneath the Earth's surface.
Isogonic Line Representation
- Isogonic lines show magnetic field patterns around the Earth.
Principles of Good Field Notes
- Legibility
- Integrity
- Accuracy
- Arrangement
- Clarity
