A question. How sensitive is e.g. Air2s for geomagnetic disturbances, which are graded in the KP index? Are you allowed to fly when KP is over 3?

If the Kp Index is 4 or more I do not fly any of my aircraft. Just personal preference.

Thanks for the reply. But shouldn't geomagnetic disturbances affect electronic charts and anything else that relies on GPS? Or are drones more sensitive to interference?

Thank’s. “However, once they get a bit higher (7-9) you could see location errors as large as 100ft. It should be noted though, that Kp Indices in that range are considered a major geomagnetic storm and are very rare. (There were zero occurrences of a Kp Index > 7 during all of 2018.)”

I normally don't fly above 6 KP.
