  Environmental Hazards The environment or “V” hazard encompasses weather, terrain, airports, airspace, time of day, and other factors. Weather Of all the environmental hazards, weather is the most variable. However, improvements in aviation weather forecasts and improvements in technology make…

  Facilities The departure and arrival facilities pilots use contain various hazards, and these can be aggravated by other environmental factors. • Airports–Runway dimensions may not be sufficient such that a takeoff or landing can be performed safely under the given ... conditions. • Runway Contamination–Wet or snow-covered runways are an environmental hazard. Some airplane flight manuals (AFM) provide little or no guidance on how to modify takeoff and landing distances for contaminated runways. • Heliports–The aircraft rotor diameter may exceed…

  Environmental Best Practices a. Unmanned aircraft operate in a similar environment to manned aircraft. Since most UAS operations are conducted at low altitude, hazards, risks and potential environment factors may be encountered on a more frequent basis. In addition ... avoid prolonged or repetitive flight at low altitude near noise sensitive areas. (b) As described in FAA Order 1050.1, Environmental Impact: Policies and Procedures, an area is “noise sensitive” if noise interferes with any normal activities associated with the area…
