I almost crashed my spark yesterday due to flying past beneath a bridge when it was really windy. I noticed that under the bridge, the wind speed increases by more than twice and will lead to very unstable flight and a huge pain to control. If not for patience and experience, I would have lost it. Just thought I should share with other pilots. [emoji3]
Be careful when flying under bridges especially on windy days.

Yep, bridges cause an increase in air turbulence as well as signal interference from their large metal frames. Always tempting to fly under bridges but equally as risky. Glad you got your Spark back in one piece!
Flying beneath a bridge can also lead to loss of GPS signal, Drone then reverts to Atti Mode. This is when the fun begins..
