cloud cover prediction throughout the day should deliver a Not Good To Fly advisory? All the other indicators for most of the day say OK and I’m itching to fly-we’ve had strong winds for the last 2 weeks.
Thanks. Have to say I forgot you could do a manual but nothing beats good judgement.
Hell, where I know of, in the USA cloud cover means nothing. Drones are in and out of clouds all the time here, and many on top going from 10,000 ft and much higher. Their philosophy is as long as people can tie 100 helium balloons and release them for an event, these balloons can get to 10,000 ft.. I would rather have my plane hit a drone than a myriad of balloons sucked up into my my engine compressors, shutting an engine down. A drone won't do that. The faa is a joke. They allowed boeing to examine and approve their own airwothiness certifications. Omg. Really. Now 737 max 8 aircraft are grounded. Who is responsible for the murder of almost 600 people approving unworthy aircraft to fly. First the government officials who changed the rules cuz their too busy allowing Boeing personally to those who approved the aircraft to fly knowing it would crash. So the government employees and Boeing personnel approved their own aircraft to crash. I would think that at least several decision makers should be imprisoned for life! Almost 600 people were killed and no accountability? They should focus on real airplanes than our drones!
the only risk that one takes going in the clouds or heavy fog as your drone will take a bath I tried it one time punching through 200 ft of overcast to catch the sunrise on top of the clouds I did and it was great pictures being on top but then coming back down by the time it landed it was dripping wet so be careful going through clouds or fog they get very very wet
My son is one of those 9 Zillion jet jockeys and he sends me fantastic pix from his office. All of them better than my drone shots!
