[QUOTE="BigAl07, post: 71764, member: 13808"] "Flying Cameras" in the snow have a whole new set of things to worry about. How do you keep the lens clean? How do you overcome "fogging/condensation"? One aspect that's new to us and we need to consider if flying in the USA is Weather Minimums. Depending on the rules you're flying under ([I]currently anyway this will change soon and pertain to all sUAS operations[/I]) you may need to remain clear of clouds both vertically and horizontally. For brevity I'll only toss the relevant portions of 107.51 out here: [I][B]107.51c[/B] (c) The minimum flight visibility, as observed from the location of the control station must be no less than 3 statute miles. For purposes of this section, flight visibility means the average slant distance from the control station at which prominent unlighted objects may be seen and identified by day and prominent lighted objects may be seen and identified by night. [B]107.51d[/B] (d) The minimum distance of the small unmanned aircraft from clouds must be no less than: (1) 500 feet below the cloud; and (2) 2,000 feet horizontally from the cloud.[/I] It's expected that once [B]Section 349[/B] is finalized and official even hobbyists will have these same legal requirements.
