Flying BVLOS is much more complicated and the drone cost would like 5 double in price.
Drones are besides this due to GPS proxy 3% (2 degrees times the distance to blade) or more inaccurate meaning on 100 meter blades the finding on the blade can be any where in a 3 meter range and it moves every time an inspection is done.
