Identification should include

• flying only one drone at a time
• flying the drone within visual line of sight
  • flying only during the day or civil twilight with required anti-collision lighting
  • avoiding flying in cloud, fog or heavy rain
  • always ensuring visual line-of-sight of the drone, rather than using binoculars or watching a video screen
  • avoiding anything that would obstruct the visual line of sight (e.g., trees, buildings)
• ensuring compliance with drone flying requirements for the area by checking airspace classifications, Temporary Flight Restrictions (TFRs), and required authorizations
• ensuring batteries are fully charged and confirming no battery warnings appear on the flight system
• checking the UAV weather forecast prior to flight, specifically regarding safe wind conditions, cloud cover, fog, heavy rain, and 3-mile minimum visibility requirement
• being familiar with the flight location (e.g., off-limits spaces, building structures, local law prohibiting flight in specific areas, air traffic control contact when in the vicinity of an airport) and planning the range of flight
• establishing the take-off and landing location and a backup plan prior to flight.

Process/Skill Questions:

• What weather concerns should one investigate prior to drone flight?
• What is the maximum safe wind speed when flying a drone?
• Why should one always have a visual line-of-sight on the drone?
