It’s December and where I live in Central Oregon the temperatures are regularly falling below 32° during the daytime. I fly Part 107 missions for Real Estate clients and have started to consider the question of whether or not I should fly my Air 2s when the temperature is below 32°. I did buy a rechargable hand warmer to keep in the glove box along with a couple batteries so that they don’t get cold in the car prior to flying.
My question is whether or not I will experience flight issues if the temperature is below the recommended threshold of 32° starting the flight with a ‘warmed’ battery. Would that even make a difference and is the issue with air temperature related to the battery alone?
Advise from those of you with experience flying at or below 32° would be appreciated.
