General Information

The content on aerocartwright.com, including all articles, tutorials, guides, calculators, tools, videos, and course materials (collectively, "Content"), is provided for general educational and informational purposes only. While we strive to keep the information accurate and current, AeroCartwright makes no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of any Content on this website.

Independence and No Employer Affiliation

AeroCartwright is a personal venture operated by Eric Ege through E2Spatial LLC, a single-member limited liability company doing business as "AeroCartwright." AeroCartwright is independently owned and operated. It is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or otherwise connected to any past or present employer, client, government agency, or public-sector organization that Eric Ege has worked with or currently works for.

All views, opinions, recommendations, analyses, and statements published on aerocartwright.com or distributed under the AeroCartwright brand are the personal views of Eric Ege in his individual capacity. They do not represent the views, positions, policies, or official statements of any employer or any agency, department, or program with which Eric Ege is or has been associated. No content on this website should be interpreted as an official communication, endorsement, or representation of any such organization.

All AeroCartwright content is researched, written, recorded, and produced on personal time, using personal equipment, personal software licenses, and personal accounts. AeroCartwright does not use, reference, reproduce, or rely on any proprietary, confidential, classified, controlled, export-restricted, or otherwise non-public information obtained through any employment, contractor, or volunteer role. Where AeroCartwright content discusses specific platforms, workflows, or techniques, the source material is publicly available documentation, manufacturer specifications, peer-reviewed literature, independent testing, or Eric Ege's own personal experimentation outside of any employment context.

References on the /about/ page and elsewhere to professional experience with specific drone platforms — including but not limited to Blue UAS and NDAA-compliant systems such as the Skydio X10, Freefly Astro, Freefly AltaX, Parrot ANAFI USA, and Teal 2 — describe Eric Ege's general professional background and accumulated industry experience. That flight time and platform familiarity was acquired in the course of separate, unrelated professional roles. It was not performed under the AeroCartwright brand, on an AeroCartwright contract, or using AeroCartwright resources.

Not Professional Surveying Advice

Nothing on this website constitutes professional surveying, engineering, or legal advice. The Content is educational in nature and is not a substitute for the judgment of a licensed Professional Land Surveyor (PLS), Professional Engineer (PE), or other qualified professional. Any surveying, mapping, or geospatial project that requires professional certification, legal boundary determination, or regulatory compliance must be performed or supervised by an appropriately licensed professional in the relevant jurisdiction.

Do not rely on AeroCartwright Content as the sole basis for making decisions regarding survey accuracy, legal boundaries, construction layout, volumetric calculations, or any deliverable that carries professional, financial, or safety consequences.

FAA and Regulatory Information

Content discussing FAA regulations, airspace requirements, Part 107 rules, BVLOS operations, or any other regulatory topics is provided for educational context only and may not reflect the most current rules, waivers, or interpretations. FAA regulations change frequently. Always verify current regulatory requirements directly with the FAA and consult with qualified aviation legal counsel before making operational decisions. AeroCartwright is not an FAA-authorized training provider unless explicitly stated otherwise.

Software and Equipment References

References to specific software (Pix4D, Agisoft Metashape, DroneDeploy, DJI Terra, WebODM, ArcGIS, QGIS, etc.), hardware, or equipment are provided for educational purposes. Software interfaces, features, and capabilities change with updates. AeroCartwright is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any software or hardware manufacturer unless explicitly stated.

Calculators and Tools

Interactive calculators and tools on this website (including the GSD Calculator, GCP Calculator, Accuracy Budget Estimator, and Processing Time Estimator) produce estimates based on simplified models and user-provided inputs. These outputs are approximations intended for planning purposes only and should not be used as the sole basis for professional deliverables, contractual commitments, or safety-critical decisions.

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, AeroCartwright, E2Spatial, and their owner(s), employees, contractors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or exemplary damages arising out of or in connection with: (a) your use of or reliance on any Content; (b) any errors or omissions in the Content; (c) any decisions made or actions taken based on the Content; or (d) your use of any calculators, tools, or downloadable resources. This limitation applies regardless of the legal theory, including negligence.

Accuracy and Currency

AeroCartwright makes reasonable efforts to ensure Content is accurate at the time of publication. However, drone mapping, photogrammetry, GIS, and remote sensing evolve rapidly. We do not guarantee that Content will be updated to reflect every change. Publication dates are provided on articles to help you assess currency.
