OUR LIMITATIONS

HOW HIGH CAN WE FLY?
FAA Regulations limit the altitude of small unmanned aircraft to 400 feet above ground level (AGL), unless its flown within a 400 foot radius of a structure and does not fly higher than 400 feet above the structures immediate uppermost limit.

HOW FAST CAN WE FLY?
FAA Regulations limit the groundspeed of small unmanned aircraft to 87 knots (100 miles per hour).

CAN WE FLY AT NIGHT?
Yes, we can fly at night. For night flights, the Drone must have lighted anti-collision lighting visible for at least 3 statute miles that has a flash rate sufficient to avoid a collision per FAR Part 107.

HOW FAR CAN WE FLY?
The short answer is: depends on the range of your equipment and location but typically a mile or two. Visual Safety Observer(s) will be necessary.
The long answer is:
(a) With vision that is unaided by any device other than corrective lenses, the Remote Pilot in Command, the Visual Safety Observer (if one is used), and the person manipulating the flight control of the small unmanned aircraft system, must all be able to see the unmanned aircraft throughout the entire flight in order to:
(1) Know the unmanned aircraft's location;
(2) Determine the unmanned aircraft's attitude, altitude, and direction of flight;
(3) Observe the airspace for other air traffic or hazards; and
(4) Determine that the unmanned aircraft does not endanger the life or property of another.
(b) Throughout the entire flight of the small unmanned aircraft, the ability described in paragraph (a) of this section must be exercised by either:
(1) The Remote Pilot in Command and the person manipulating the flight controls of the small unmanned aircraft system; or
(2) A Visual Safety Observer.

CAN WE FLY IN THE RAIN?
Unfortunately we cannot fly in the rain. The drone and its electrical equipment cannot get wet.
