Adjustments should be made based on background, time of year, location, weather, and other factors. {% endhint %} *** ## 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 ![](https://3675182560-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FXxc0lOfDa92aCfFa5lb4%2Fuploads%2FMQacDQQROqWyKYuLYY65%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=250f697e-a37c-4d9c-be4a-8ab266f9ccd4) #### Overcast ![](https://3675182560-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FXxc0lOfDa92aCfFa5lb4%2Fuploads%2FY2FhrIGWG7wT0DH9byER%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=6fe5aa13-5bd5-4846-b1b6-2ee917f11ba4)
Undesirable Lighting Conditions #### Partially Cloudy ![](https://3675182560-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FXxc0lOfDa92aCfFa5lb4%2Fuploads%2FHGZKorTuBngq5sn391ZG%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=6369efcf-5470-4bdd-927a-7cd3264dcaca)
### Precipitation Flying in foggy, rainy, or snowy conditions is **not advised**. ![](https://3675182560-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FXxc0lOfDa92aCfFa5lb4%2Fuploads%2FceTbqj6h1k3hYLzOni3e%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=d3910936-33cb-4f88-89ea-4ef7547d69bd)![](https://3675182560-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FXxc0lOfDa92aCfFa5lb4%2Fuploads%2FQu8EVBWMlhJOYV8bBvLR%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=cb9447a3-303a-474d-9c18-6e3a6420a069)![](https://3675182560-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FXxc0lOfDa92aCfFa5lb4%2Fuploads%2FMtlDAMMmd2DpRRsTLuad%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=209806d4-9390-4390-9bfb-53069259760f) *** ## Sentera Product Catalog {% embed url="" %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://support.senterasensors.com/home/65r-sensor-user-guide/65r-sensor/operation/recommended-flight-settings.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
