11 CAPABILITIES General Flight Considerations WIND & PRECIP UAV operations are best conducted on sunny or overcast days, when winds are <~15mph. Light precipitation is manageable, but avoided whenever possible. FLIGHT TIME Most UAV can fly for 15 3 minutes, and by combining flights can cover from tens to hundreds of acres. Fixed wing UAS can cover more area per flight, and should be used for larger mapping projects.

12 CONDITIONS Weather & Site Considerations TERRAIN & OBSTACLES Flat or rolling terrain with little tree cover is ideal for UAV mapping projects. Multirotors can operate out of smaller launch areas and operate closer to structures. TEMPERATURE UAVs can operate year round in almost any temperature, with the human operators being the largest concern. For most cases, use 1F as a guide.

13 OPERATIONAL CONSTRAINTS Simplified Rules for Planning Purposes LINE OF SIGHT UAS must remain within the operator s line of sight, in case of emergency. This also means operations must be conducted between dawn and dusk. AIRSPACE In most cases, commercial UAS must not operate within controlled airspace near airports, and are limited to 4FT above the ground & structures.
