This weather report, used by remote pilots for flight planning, gives real time updates on wind, visibility, and cloud cover at an airport, it is updated hourly.

METAR

300

How can G force and weight have a negative effect on the drone while it’s in the air?

G force multiplies the weight of the drone by the amount of G force the drone is experiencing.

300

in the event of a battery fire during flight, the remote pilot may need to do this to avoid risk to people or property.
