We're Obsessive About Weather
- We look forward to welcoming you to our drone tour, where you will have the opportunity to explore the scenic landscapes and landmarks of our destination from a unique perspective.
- As you’re likely already aware, weather conditions can have a significant impact on the drone’s performance and safety, and of course - the safety of our group. Therefore, we ask you to read, understand, and accept the following statements carefully and abide by our instructions both before, and during the tour.
- Temperature: Extreme hot or cold temperatures can reduce your drone's efficiency and lifespan and that of controller batteries. Hot temperatures can also cause overheating of the motors and electronics, which can lead to shutdown.Temperature can also affect the drone’s performance, stability, and responsiveness. Therefore, we will not fly in extreme temperatures.
- Precipitation: Rain, snow, hail, fog, and high humidity can damage your drone. They can also reduce VLOS and interfere with the camera and sensors. Therefore, we will not be flying in wet or foggy conditions and we will cancel a specific mission if precipitation occurs during flight.
- Wind: Strong winds can affect the drone’s stability, control, and range. They can also increase the battery consumption and reduce the flight time. Therefore, we will be checking the wind speed and direction before flying and adjust the flight plan, or locations accordingly. We will not be flying in overly gusty or turbulent conditions. We recommend setting your drone's maximum speed at least 5 mph above windspeed including gusts.
We hope you share our obsession about weather, and that you understand that these precautions are necessary for your safety and enjoyment of the drone tour. We appreciate your cooperation and we look forward to seeing you soon.
