EnvironmentalConditions
Inordertoensureflightsafety,certainrestrictionsonenvironmentalconditionsneedtobefollowed.
Checktheweatherforecast(e.g.onwindfinder)forwind,rain,andtemperature.Gatherinformation
abouttheconditionofthesite,e.g.intensityofradiationfieldsandaltitudeabovemeansealevel.
Makesureenvironmentalconditionsareasfollows:
Windgustsmustnotexceed30km/h(8m/s,16kts).Checkwiththeanemometerbeforeflying
anddonotflyifgustsongroundexceed6m/sonopenfields(inconfinedspacesyouhavetorely
onforecastsonly).Asaruleofthumb,windspeedsof6m/songroundonopenfieldscorrespond
towindspeedsof~8m/sin10m-20maltitude(forecastaltitude)and~10m/sin100maltitude.
WingtraOnewillreturnhomeautomaticallyifwindspeedsexceed12m/sduringflight.Ifyouflyin
highwinds,checkourrecommendationsintheadvanceplanningchapter.
Donotflyincaseofrain,snow,orfog
Ambienttemperaturemustliebetween-10and40degreeCelsius
Donotflyinareaswhichprobablyhavehigh-intensityradiation.
Donotflymorethan3000maltitudeabovemeansealevel.
