1. Introduction
1.5. Understanding your environment
The environment that you want the drone to work in will very much impact the type and sized drone that you look to purchase. This will then impact any licence requirements for you to use it effectively.

Getting to know your weather indicators is an important skill to develop when flying your drone. Understand the clouds and how to read the sky. Use reliable weather sites such as the BOM (Bureau of Meteorology) to review the weather before your flight. Know the wind direction and strength. If you fly downwind to a position, you’ll have to fly back into the wind to get home. The extra battery power you save going out will be the difference between getting home or not.
