    Plane table surveying is a graphical surveying method where observations and plotting are done simultaneously. It is well-suited for mapping interior details like buildings, trees, and roads. Some key advantages are that work can be done quickly, mistakes are less likely, no field book is needed, and it is relatively inexpensive and accurate. However, it is not suitable for large areas, wet weather, or maps with large scales. Required instruments include a plane table, alidade, plumbing fork, spirit level, and compass. There are three main operations - fixing the table, setting it level and oriented, and sighting points. Common error sources are non-horizontal boards, inaccurate centering, incorrect orientation, and deflected
