Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

It doesn’t have to be me making the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So how’s it going?

    I think it’s more reactionary. Come across a slip along the road and (probabaly) as part of the Maintenance NOC it requires surveying so pickup and fly it, lidar use is only really for checking the drone / uav has good data. To answer your question we just use the term UAV but they’re drones, DJI Phantoms or Mavics or some other cool ones like the skydio

      Things have come on a long way from the early 2000s. Back then my old man was doing the assessments around the Tararua District for all the land that had slipped and it was a case of flying around in a small plane for ages making guesstimates of how much dirt had moved :)

      editing to add he was the passenger, seeing the state of some of his fence posts and fences i’m glad he wasn’t the pilot in the plane given the damage he can do in a tractor.
