Details	:	Small Unmanned Aircraft (SUA) is now widely used by many industries and personal entertainment. The Hong Kong Civil Aviation Department (HKCAD) has introduced the new SUA Order to regulate all SUA activities, so how does it impact on current SUA operation? What about self-use like hiking and traveling? Do we have to get a license for it? How much it cost for insurance? Let talk about it and we can do a little demonstration! SUA have enormous potential for surveying and mapping applications. One of the key advantages of using SUAs for surveying is that they can quickly and accurately collect data over large areas and difficult terrain, which can then be used to create detailed maps and 3D models. As SUA technology continues to advance, it is likely that their applications in surveying and mapping will continue to expand, providing new opportunities for businesses and organizations to improve their operations and decision-making processes.
