Episode 14 - Why Your Drone Doesn’t Care About the Forecast — Until It’s Too Late
In Episode 14 of Sky Commander Academy, we reveal the hidden weather factors that silently sabotage drone performance — and how to stay ahead of them. From sudden gusts to battery-killing cold, environmental conditions can turn a routine flight into a disaster fast.
This episode is your go-to guide for understanding how real-world weather impacts your RPAS — knowledge Transport Canada expects you to have for the Basic RPAS Certificate.
You’ll learn:
How wind gusts and updrafts affect drone control, and how to spot the warning signs
Why temperature extremes drain your batteries faster — and what to do about it
The impact of rain, snow, and low visibility on sensors, cameras, and flight stability
How to plan missions with performance-impacting weather in mind
Whether you're flying for fun or prepping for the exam, this episode gives you the real-world insight to fly smarter, safer, and longer — no matter the forecast.
