3. Principle of Plane Table Surveying
Parallelism is the principle of plane table surveying.
As in plane table surveying all the rays on drawing sheet are drawn parallel to the
sight line in the alidade, parallelism is the principle of Plane Table Surveying.
4. Benefits of Plane Table Surveying
As drawings are drawn at the ground, no necessity to maintain field book.
Easy and quick to prepare drawings for small work.
No great skill is required.
It is less costly as compared with theodolite survey.
The error and mistakes in plotting can be checked by drawing the check lines.

Plane table is heavy and awkward to carry, and the accessories are likely to be
lost.
It is not suitable for work in a wet climate and in a densely wooded country.
It is unsuitable for large area surveys because it requires frequent changes in the
size of drawing sheets.
It does not give very accurate results.
6. Methods of Plane Table Surveying
Radiation Method of Plane Table Surveying
Intersection Method of Plane Table Surveying
The Three point problem in Plane Table Surveying
The Two point problem in plane Table Surveying
7. Errors in Plane Table Surveying
Observation Errors – These are the errors in inappropriate reading
Human Errors – False entry in survey book is a type of human errors. It is
compensating error.
Instrumental Errors – Misalignments of Plane Table, rough edge of alidade, or any
other errors in instruments.
Natural Errors – Environmental factors such as refraction, wind etc. These errors
