Operations in Hot Weather

Hot Environments

Try to avoid flight operations in extreme heat or humidity levels.
Do not fly in temperatures above \(110^\circ\)C (\(43^\circ\)F).
Keep flights to short bursts, and rest the UAS in the shade between flight operations.
Monitor the controller and tablet temperature. Avoid direct sunlight.
If possible, try to operate under shade or a small canopy.
Expect to see a 10-15% decrease in flight time - plan missions accordingly.

Only use fully charged batteries.
Never use batteries that are abnormally hot to the touch.
Check the battery temperature in DJI GO.
Use an insulated cooler and keep in the shade to keep cool when not in use.
Avoid aggressive flight maneuvers and land flights earlier than in normal weather.
Batteries drain faster in hot temperatures. Always check the UAS battery status during flight.
Never leave a battery in direct sunlight
After use, store the depleted battery in a well-ventilated area to allow it to cooldown. Do not place in a storage case or bag.
