Drive to Farnborough today and most through fog so thick I would want to fly as so dense and wet. Some told me they had heard of drones trying to land 200ft up onto fog. Anyone else of that?

I always have all sensors off … so not an issue. :wink:

My fogcast was accurate, then? :+1:

My Spark did say it was landing at near 400ft for this, it never shut down though thank goodness.

Thank you Jeff.
Hope the wedding goes well.

Thank you Brian, yes, definitely.

There’s some thin fog/mist about out there. I hope it thickens up a bit.

Same here.

Why are people posting on here today?

Months of moaning about the weather and today’s near perfect! EVERYWHERE!

Really sunny, too!!

OK - some mist/fog patches … but they’ll be gone soon so, off you go!!

Me? Migraine! I’m off back to bed … and so damned pissed off.

Fog all day here today ;o(

Couldn’t see the tops of the cooling towers (114m) so a bit too thick today (locally), strange microclimate around Drax

I wonder what that top wind speed for takeoff really is?

Would it not depend on the max speed of the drone. A drone hovering stationary over the ground in a 40 MPH wind is flying at 40MPH. Perhaps there is a software restriction? But prior to lifting the drone has no way of knowing tye wind - or does it?

Not going to try out that theory though. :grin::grin:
