I would not want to discourage analysis - we may learn something, but it should be made clear that when flying in the vicinity of a large radio tower one may encounter extremely high RF interference resulting in failure of any or all of the systems Spark depends on for navigation and control. Is is possibly the worst mistake one can make.
You may get away with it if you are lucky since the electromagetic field can be stronger or weaker at various point around the tower, but really it should be avoided.
I agree, but that is also what is fun about looking at logs and learning is that you can explore the area via mapping tools or Google Earth. You may be right that this flight was impacted by the tower, but maybe there is other info in the logs that shows something different. Always something to be learned when looking at data. I've found many times that when looking at the data it sometimes has a different story to be told than what was expected without looking at it. Cheers! |
