Tips & Tricks for Flying Drones in Hot Weather

Today's question is about flying drones in hot weather. What are some Tips & Tricks for safely flying your drone in this summer heat?

With the summer in full swing, some states are experiencing temperatures well above 100 degrees. Our caller, Todd, a drone pilot from the hot state of Ohio, has a question about flying drones in this hot weather. How do popular drones like Phantom and Inspire handle the summer heat? What precautions can drone pilots take so that they can safely fly in this summer heat?

Flying drones in hot weather can be unfruitful and even dangerous if you do not follow crucial pre-flight safety procedures. In this show, you will learn various hacks which will allow you maximum flight time without damaging your drone.

The manufacturer's instruction manual recommends a maximum temperature, beyond which you should avoid flying. Should you follow this manual? Should you artificially cool down your drone batteries? And, do you risk losing your drone when you are out flying in scorching weather? For all this and much more, tune in to our latest show now. Thanks for the great question, Todd. Fly safe!
