2.6 METEOROLOGICAL LIMITATIONS
Visual Conditions VMC for duration of operation.
Maximum Wind Speed

Precipitation Tolerance
10 m/s (22.4 mph, 19.4 kts)
Tested to IP43 Standards
PRISM, as received from the manufacturer, should not be operated at altitudes above
3,000 meters (10,000 feet) above sea level (MSL). If High Altitude operations are required,
it is highly recommended that the operator takes great care in ensuring that the aircraft is
capable of performance at such altitudes. The operator may have to utilize a smaller/lighter
battery system in order to gain performance at high altitudes.
Safe operations require a minimum of 5m radius around the RPA to be clear during take-off
and landing. The cleared area should be as large as practicable to maximize the safety of
the operation.
2.7 OPERATING TEMPERATURES
2.8 TAKE OFF / LANDING AREA
CAUTION:
PRISM is not built for operation in precipitation beyond a light rain or in intensely-dusty conditions.
CAUTION:
The pilot must be aware that 10 m/s wind speed as measured on the ground will result in
significantly higher wind speeds as flight altitude is increased. The pilot must be aware of wind
gradient and limitations of RPA in respect of maximum forward speed and safe operation.
