If a photo is taken from an aircraft flying at 100.79 m, with -5.47 degree roll

Question

If a photo is taken from an aircraft flying at 100.79 m, with -5.47 degree roll (ie left wing down 5.47 degree from horizontal) 5.25 degree pitch, 13.25 degree yaw from north (ie heading north east), what is the error and direction of a known point within the picture.

Picture location: UTM E 493768.728 m, N 4452184.763 m, and 1641.81 m elevation

Actual ground control point location: UTM E 493789.897 m, N 445292.971 m, and 1541.813 m elevation

Error in calculated ground control point location: ??

Explanation / Answer

Error = |493768.728 - 493789.897| / 493768.728 + |4452184.763 - 445292.971| / 4452184.763 + |1641.81-1541.813| / 1641.81

=> Error = 0.0000429 + 0.999 + 0.061 = 1.06
