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