What should a remote pilot do when the forecast wind exceeds the manufacturer's stated wind resistance rating for the aircraft?
- A.Fly anyway but stay below 200 feet AGL
- B.Fly only downwind so the wind helps the aircraft
- C.Do not fly; the aircraft is not rated to maintain control in those winds
Correct answer
C. Do not fly; the aircraft is not rated to maintain control in those winds
Why
The wind rating reflects the maximum wind in which the manufacturer expects the aircraft to hold position and remain controllable. Exceeding it risks loss of control and flyaway.
