Has anyone devised a simple formula to determine the wind speed where the drone is flying?
This was the original question.
The simple answer has been stated several times, no need to make it complicated.
Fly to where you want to do the check, stop all control input, switch to “atti” mode, read off the speed on the controller display. That is all.
Weather forecasts, wind speed measuring devices are all well and good in a stable weather situation, but where land and water come together, in the mountains or irregular landscapes and unstable weather conditions the wind speeds over just a few meters horizontal or vertical may change enormously, in the middle of a lake, in a valley, at the top of a cliff or around the corner of a building. |
