Flying in wind safely
- Wind usually increases with altitude. Ground calm can mean a stiff breeze at 300 ft.
- Fly upwind first so the return leg has the wind behind you.
- Watch the app's wind warnings and your ground speed on the return.
- If the drone is struggling, descend — winds are usually lighter lower — and use a sport/higher-speed mode if your drone has one.
- Sub-250 g drones have the least margin. Know your model's rated max wind speed and stay well below it.
General guidance only. Follow your aircraft manufacturer's instructions and verify regulations with official sources before flying.
