All You Need to Know For Flying Drones in Hot Weather

Today's question is about flying drones in hot weather. As a drone pilot, how can you protect your equipment and your health while flying in hot weather?

Our caller for today, Todd from Ohio has come up with an interesting two-part question today.

His first question is about flying drones in hot weather? What precautions do drone pilots need to take while flying drones in hot weather? How can you protect your expensive drone equipment so that it does not go kaput? And, what are some common-sense measures that you can take to stay adequately hydrated while you are out flying?

Todd's next question is about flying over cargo ships. Are cargo ships considered as critical infrastrucuture? Do drones laws prevent you from flying over cargo ships? We also discuss whether you are likely to run into any magnetic interference issues if you fly too close to a ship.

Thanks for the great question, Todd. Fly Safe!
