The paper discusses results of tests designed to determine the position stabilization accuracy of an Unmanned Aircraft System. The tests were carried out on a DJI S900 device featuring a A2 flight controller during basic flight operations. All the maneuvers were performed in the remote control mode with RC system, while the UAV's position was stabilized by its onboard systems. During all the tests, state-of-the-art surveying equipment was used to determine the position of the UAV. An analysis of the obtained measurement data has enabled the verification of the UAV positioning accuracy parameters specified by the manufacturer of the UAV. It has also allowed the assessment of onboard system indications in terms of their reliability in missions involving documentation photography, video shooting or professional photogrammetric documentation. The proposed set of tests, including the testing methodology, can successfully be applied in the future to inspect the operation of this type of equipment.
