Accuracy FAQ
Wondering about Wingtra’s 1 cm (0.4 in) horizontal absolute accuracy and how the results were validated?
Below you will find a summary of the most frequently asked questions we get related to accuracy. To get the
full picture, please read Wingtra’s white paper available at wingtra.com/drone-survey-accuracy
What equipment was used to perform the survey? What measurement of accuracy are you using?
WingtraOne PPK drone with a 42 MP Sony RX1R II We used root mean square error (RMSE) on five (ETH)

for one but over 14 flights.
Did you use GCPs for processing?
No, we did not use GCPs for processing as photo- Is this accuracy valid for every point of the point cloud?

Flying in wind
WingtraOne can safely fly and capture data in
sustained winds up to 12 m/s (27 mph) and gusts
up to 18 m/s (40 mph).
We recommend measuring the If the wind speed during cruise Flight time may be affected by
wind on the ground. Do not fly flight exceeds 12 m/s (27 mph) wind (see detailed section on

In case of many obstacles blocking visual line of sight or BVLOS missions, you can increase the
connection loss timeout parameter on WingtraPilot. It defines the maximum time a connection loss
of telemetry is tolerated until a mission is aborted. In this case, missions will run uninterrupted even if
there is no telemetry connection.
