On cold nights (below about 59°F \u002F 15°C), LiPo batteries can lose 15 to 25% of their rated flight time. This happens because cold temperatures reduce the battery's electrochemical capacity. Charge batteries immediately before the flight, monitor the remaining percentage closely, and always set automatic Return to Home to trigger at 20 to 25% remaining charge.\"",[21,623],{},[11,625,626],{},"::",[21,628],{},[11,630,631],{},[632,633,634,635,640,641,640,646,640,651],"em",{},"Sources: ",[110,636,639],{"href":637,"rel":638},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.faa.gov\u002Fuas\u002Fcommercial_operators\u002Fpart_107_waivers\u002Fwaiver_safety_explanation_guides\u002Fmedia\u002F107_29_Night_Operations.pdf",[114],"FAA - Part 107 Night Operations"," | ",[110,642,645],{"href":643,"rel":644},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.faa.gov\u002Fuas\u002Frecreational_fliers",[114],"FAA - Recreational Flyers",[110,647,650],{"href":648,"rel":649},"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.faa.gov\u002Fnews\u002Fpress_releases\u002Fnews_story.cfm?newsId=25287",[114],"FAA - Part 107 Rule Update 2021",[110,652,655],{"href":653,"rel":654},"https:\u002F\u002Flumecube.com\u002Fcollections\u002Fdrone-lighting",[114],"Lume Cube - Drone Strobe",{"title":657,"searchDepth":658,"depth":658,"links":659},"",2,[660,667,672,677,683,689,695,696],{"id":26,"depth":658,"text":27,"children":661},[662,664,665,666],{"id":39,"depth":663,"text":40},3,{"id":50,"depth":663,"text":51},{"id":60,"depth":663,"text":61},{"id":104,"depth":663,"text":105},{"id":127,"depth":658,"text":128,"children":668},[669,670,671],{"id":138,"depth":663,"text":139},{"id":227,"depth":663,"text":228},{"id":238,"depth":663,"text":239},{"id":251,"depth":658,"text":252,"children":673},[674,675,676],{"id":258,"depth":663,"text":259},{"id":305,"depth":663,"text":306},{"id":335,"depth":663,"text":336},{"id":358,"depth":658,"text":359,"children":678},[679,680,681,682],{"id":369,"depth":663,"text":370},{"id":391,"depth":663,"text":392},{"id":402,"depth":663,"text":403},{"id":417,"depth":663,"text":418},{"id":430,"depth":658,"text":431,"children":684},[685,686,687,688],{"id":437,"depth":663,"text":438},{"id":450,"depth":663,"text":451},{"id":457,"depth":663,"text":458},{"id":464,"depth":663,"text":465},{"id":492,"depth":658,"text":493,"children":690},[691,692,693,694],{"id":503,"depth":663,"text":504},{"id":514,"depth":663,"text":515},{"id":521,"depth":663,"text":522},{"id":528,"depth":663,"text":529},{"id":537,"depth":658,"text":538},{"id":600,"depth":658,"text":601},"articles","2026-04-14","Night drone flying rules for the US (FAA Part 107), UK (CAA), EU (EASA), and Australia (CASA) - plus lighting requirements and camera settings for stunning results.",false,"md","\u002Fimages\u002Fdrone-voar-a-noite.jpg",{},true,"\u002Fen\u002Fposts\u002Fhow-to-fly-drone-at-night",{"title":5,"description":699},"how-to-fly-drone-at-night","en\u002Fposts\u002Fhow-to-fly-drone-at-night",[710,711,712,713,714],"regulations","aerial photography","night flying","FAA","tips","drone-voar-a-noite",null,"xzN8Hsqg0DToLKiuq-oZ9Rk8Pu6kurTGlPbgtw3L2Gk",[719,732,745,757],{"title":720,"description":721,"date":722,"category":697,"image":723,"slug":724,"tags":725,"author":6},"Drone Insurance: What You Need to Know (US, UK, Australia, EU)","A complete guide to drone insurance for hobbyists and commercial pilots - covering liability, hull coverage, and country-specific requirements in the US, UK, Australia, and EU.","2026-04-26","\u002Fimages\u002Fseguro-drone-brasil.jpg","drone-insurance-guide",[726,727,728,713,729,730,731,710],"drone insurance","liability","commercial drone","CAA","CASA","EASA",{"title":733,"description":734,"date":722,"category":697,"image":735,"slug":736,"tags":737,"author":6},"How to Make Money with Drones: 10 Real Ways (2026)","From hobbyist to professional: 10 concrete ways to monetize your drone, how much to charge per service, and what certifications you need in the US, UK, Australia, and EU.","\u002Fimages\u002Fcomo-ganhar-dinheiro-com-drones.jpg","how-to-make-money-with-drones",[738,728,739,740,741,742,743,744],"drone business","make money","Part 107","drone services","drone photography","drone mapping","professional pilot",{"title":746,"description":747,"date":748,"category":697,"image":749,"slug":750,"tags":751,"author":6},"Thermal Camera for Drones: The Complete Guide","Everything you need to know about drone thermal cameras: how infrared sensors work, top models, key applications, and how to choose the right one.","2026-04-19","\u002Fimages\u002Fcamera-termica-drone.jpg","thermal-camera-drone-guide",[752,753,754,755,756],"thermal camera","inspection","infrared","professional drone","agriculture",{"title":758,"description":759,"date":760,"category":697,"image":761,"slug":762,"tags":763,"author":6},"Traveling with a Drone on a Plane: Rules and Tips","Flying with your drone?
