Wind stops us more often than rain does. If your job has a hard deadline, tell us early and we will hold a second window in the calendar for free.
Light rain is mostly a nuisance. Wind is a limit: past a certain speed the aircraft is spending its battery holding position instead of flying the pattern, and the footage shows it.
The practical answer is to book with slack. A survey that must be delivered on the 30th should be flown around the 24th, so there is somewhere to move to if the forecast turns.
We watch the window for you and call it the evening before rather than making you wait on a wet tailgate.
