3.13. OPERATIONAL LIMITATIONS
The Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAS has the following operational limits:
• Wind speeds up to 16 m/s in Height-Mode respective 12 m/s in GPS-Mode.
Above these limits the UAV will not be able to hold its position.
• Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAV operating temperature: -5 °C and 45 °C (23 °F to 113 °F).
• Intel® Cockpit Controller operating temperature: -5 °C and 45 °C
(23 °F to 113 °F).
• Intel® Powerpack battery operating temperature: -5 °C and 40 °C
(23 °F to 104 °F).
The operating temperature of the UAS, i.e. the complete system including all
components, is currently limited by the operating temperature of the battery.
Therefore, the operating temperature of the Intel® Falcon™ 8+ UAS is -5 °C and 40 °C
(23 °F to 104 °F). The upper temperature limit is likely to increase with the introduction
of the new battery technology in the future.
• A maximum distance of 250 meters between the UAV and the pilot is
recommended. Beyond this range the UAV becomes too small to see.
• The UAV is not waterproof. Flying in rain, fog or snow is undertaken at your own
risk and not recommended.
• Flying in dusty or sandy areas may damage the cameras and motors
permanently.
• Altitudes of more than 3,500 meters above sea level are risky. Flight time and
stability decrease dramatically.
• Do not take off in areas with strong external magnetic fields if you are not used
to flying in Height-Mode.
• Acrobatic flight is prohibited.
