What additional consideration must a pilot take into account when flying near high structures?

Weather conditions
Reaction time
Surrounding pedestrian activity
Payload weight

The correct answer is: Weather conditions

When flying near high structures, weather conditions are a crucial factor to consider. High structures can create unique wind patterns and turbulence, which can affect the stability and control of a drone. For example, wind can be funneled or increased in speed as it passes around and over these structures, potentially leading to unpredictable flying conditions. This is especially important during adverse weather phenomena, such as gusty winds or storms, which can compromise both the safety of the flight and the integrity of the drone. By being aware of the weather conditions, a pilot can make informed decisions regarding the feasibility of the flight and the necessary precautions to ensure safe operation near tall buildings, towers, or similar structures.
