A field recording booklet. A single-sheet recording form. A digital disk or device for automated data recording. A l<strong>and</strong> survey plan. A property plan. Recovery <strong>and</strong> station description cards. A control diagram showing the relative location, method, <strong>and</strong> type of control established orrecoveredb. Record field notes using the three general forms--tabulation, sketching, <strong>and</strong> description.(1) Tabulation. Numerical data is recorded in columns following a prescribed format, dependingon the type of operation, the instrument used, <strong>and</strong> the specifications for the type of survey.(2) Sketching. Sketches add much to the clarity of field notes <strong>and</strong> should be used liberally. Theymay be drawn to scale (as in plane table <strong>surveys</strong>) or they can be drawn to an approximate scale (as incontrol cards). If needed, use an exaggerated scale to show detail. Measurements should be addeddirectly on the sketch or keyed in such a way as to avoid confusion.(3) Description. Tabulations with or without sketches can also be supplemented with narrativedescriptions. The description may consist of a few words or it may be very detailed. Survey notesbecome a part of historic records, so a brief description entered at the time of the survey may beimportant <strong>and</strong> helpful in the future.c. Ensure that the following qualities are applied to the completed field notes: The lettering conforms to the gothic style portrayed in FM 5-553. All entries should beformatted according to unit SOPs. There is only one possible interpretation of an entry. Decimal points <strong>and</strong> commas must beclear <strong>and</strong> distinct. Entries are complete <strong>and</strong> all resolved data is finished according to the unit's SOP. All entriesshould be recorded on the correct forms. Never record notes on scrap paper <strong>and</strong> transcribethem to a field recording form. If performing an underground survey, use a coveredclipboard to protect the notes. Accurately describe the field experience. Sketches, diagrams,<strong>and</strong> notes help to reduce or eliminate questions.EN0593 2-12
