FieldAgent Mobile - Wind Turbine Overlay

Wind Turbine Warning Overlay

Overview

Wind turbines can provide a challenge to drone pilots attempting to create safe and effective flight plans. In order to ease this burden, FieldAgent Mobile now includes the Wind Turbine Warning Overlay.


When planning a flight or looking at a saved field, you will see wind turbines in and near the area of flight operations. Each turbine has a circle with a 600 foot (182.88 meter) radius surrounding it. The application will not prevent planning a flight through the area, but gives pilots a visual guide for planning a flight that avoids entering the potentially dangerous areas around turbines.

Caveats

  • This feature requires an active internet connection.

  • While Sentera endeavors to provide the most up to date wind turbine data, wind energy is a fast growing industry. Survey your area of operations before flying. As the pilot in command, it is your responsibility to always be aware of your surroundings when flying a UAV.
