Disadvantages of Plane Table Survey
  • The plane table survey is not possible in unfavorable climates such as rain, fog etc.
  • This method of survey is not very accurate and thus unsuitable for large scale or precise work.
  • As no field book is maintained, plotting at different scale require full exercise.
  • The method requires large amount of time to be spent in the field.
  • Quality of the final map depends largely on the drafting capability of the surveyor.
  • This method is effective in relatively open country where stations can be sighted easily .
