Abstract
This article provides a systematization of the main errors affecting the results of determining relative heights by unilateral trigonometric leveling. The zenith distance determination accuracy vs the height of the instrument, the known elevation and the distance between stations has been pre-calculated. Refraction is the main factor preventing the use of the accuracy capabilities of modern electronic tacheometers. The results of daily experimental studies to determine the refraction coefficient are presented, and the results obtained have been analyzed.
