P3 pro in wind

[pilotfrom finland]

What is the wind recommendation for these drones? safe to fly in 9mps?

The Phantom manual recommends not flying in wind speeds exceeding 22 MPH.

Thanks!

Keep in mind that's what the Phantom is designed to handle. I don't personally like to fly in winds greater than 10 MPH since it's not as safe when taking off and landing.

I got stuck in only what I could estimate was a 35mph wind at about 500' yesterday when RTH. It literally wasn't moving forward. I kept it at full throttle and started descending. At about 450 feet, it started to move forward and at 400 it was coming back at 10mph. I continued to descend and got it to a max of 15mph, which got me back without an issue. Just goes to show how ground wind speed can be very deceptive.

FAA saw you at over 400' and beefed up the wind speed. LOL

Theyd've had to have bloody good radar, as I'm in Eire at the moment! LOL!

I have flown my P3A with 24 mph wind speed. There were some drifting but it was controllable. I did not believe how well the P3A handled the wind speed.
