Night flying

Lights, orientation and night take-off and landing.

13 modules, then one final test with one attempt.

Set the conditions.

Choose the night you fly in, for each exercise.

Available

Light: Eight conditions, from dusk and twilight to moonless, urban and rural night.
Moon and visibility: Full to no moon; clear air, haze or mist.
Lights: Street lights, the drone’s own lights and lights round the pad.

Every session starts from the exercise’s default. The pilot then changes it.

Available

Weather: Sunny, cloudy, or light, moderate or heavy rain.
Temperature: From −20 to 50 °C. Hot air gives less lift and a shorter battery; cold makes the battery weaker.
Wind: Speed, direction and gusts in every area.
The drone’s limits: Each drone has its maker’s wind, rain and temperature limits. Past them, the pilot is warned.

Fly this area out of sight. The drone camera is the only view: you find your way by the numbered markers and the line in the picture.

Available

Camera only: No view from the ground or from behind. Distance home, height, battery and link on screen.
Its own exercises: Out-of-sight exercises only, with their own final test.
Its own record: Kept apart from the area’s normal training.
