# Surveying payload
Since its release in 2022, the Elios 3 has become a key instrument in the surveyor toolbox for capturing LiDAR data in areas where it was never possible to capture data before. With the growing need for better and more efficient data capture, sectors like mining, construction, and infrastructure management are turning to the Elios 3 to conduct safer inspections and surveys with greater data coverage.
Now, with the introduction of the Elios 3’s new Surveying Payload, the capabilities of this drone have been augmented. This report will detail the results of testing the new payload’s accuracy and demonstrate exactly how it has added to the Elios 3’s data collection workflows.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://knowledge.flyability.com/aircraft/elios-3/elios-3-payload/surveying-payload.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
