Environmental Considerations

Time of Day

Fly mid-day when the sun is highest in the sky (solar noon) to reduce shadowing effects. Solar noon will change depending on global location and time of year.

Cloud Cover

Flying with uniform lighting conditions is optimal for 65R. This means no clouds (clear), mostly clear, or completely overcast.

Optimal Lighting Conditions

Clear Skies

Overcast

Undesirable Lighting Conditions

Partially Cloudy

Precipitation

Flying in foggy, rainy, or snowy conditions is not advised.
