Weather Limitations
Although the Evolve is a high performance drone, weather can be a crucial factor to flight performance
and safe operations. Caution must be observed when it comes to weather planning. Effective weather
planning breaks down to these criteria:
◦ Weather information gathering – This can be achieved be watching your local news weather
station and by using the web and APP tools like The Weather Channel and NOAA
◦ Knowledge of weather patterns in your operational area – Search for local weather patterns
with similar APP tools for forecasting weather
◦ Executing flight plan and go or no go situations based on the weather information – Be sure
to make informed decisions based on accurate weather information and remember no flight
is too important to ignore safely hazards created by inclement weather.
If these criteria are met the chances of a crash or close calls are substantially reduced.

◦ Wind speed - 25 mph for maximum safe operations
◦ Outside temperature - 104°F hottest recommended / temperature 32°F for the coldest tem-
perature
◦ Visibility – At least 5 statute miles of clear visibility and a minimum cloud cover ceiling of
