Checking Yourself
Make sure that you are physically and mentally ready to safely operate the drone. Sickness, stress, and medications can affect your ability to fly safely and respond to unplanned situations.
Some of the factors which can affect manned aircraft pilots also can affect your ability to fly your drone safely. Recreational drone flyers need to be aware of how conditions like stress, fatigue, and dehydration can affect their flying abilities.
Additionally, alcohol and drugs (including over-the-counter medication) can have a detrimental effect on decision-making and hand-eye coordination needed to safely fly your drone.
It is your responsibility to ensure that you are mentally and physically fit to fly!
