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 6X. This means no clouds (clear), mostly clear, or completely overcast.
