💨 Respect the Wind
Colorado’s amazing views are perfect for drone flights—but the wind can be brutal. Whether you're flying for fun or work, checking the weather is non-negotiable.
As a professional pilot, I use TAF and METAR reports for detailed forecasts, but most weather apps will do the trick. Wind affects everything: stability, battery life, and safety. I’ve postponed flights when gusts got too strong—but I also know how to push limits safely when the job demands it.
✅ Quick Tips:
- Check wind speeds at altitude—not just on the ground
- Know your drone’s wind resistance (most handle 15–25 mph)
- Plan your flight with wind direction in mind
- Be ready to reschedule if conditions shift
Bottom line: respect the wind. It’s the difference between a smooth flight and a costly mistake.
