Table 1. UAV flight weather limitations.

In order to quantify how many days annually a consumer UAV could be flow in Arviat, Nunavut, we established two categories of minimum parameters and assessed 5 years of daily weather data. Limits were based on manufacture recommendations, legal limits, and tests conducted in Arviat.

Scenario Min Daily Temp Avg Daily Wind Speed Max Daily Wind Gust Visibility Min
High margin cut off > -5 oC < 20km/hr < 40km/hr > 1km
Medium margin cut off > 0 oC < 15km/hr < 35km/hr > 2km
