0–15 km/h — Ideal / Good Calm air, perfect for beginners. Lightweight trainers fly smoothly without getting tossed around.
15–30 km/h — Caution / Tricky Manageable with a few flights of experience. Lighter foam models will get bounced around, and crosswinds/gusts make control difficult.
30+ km/h — Advanced Not recommended for beginners.
These are the same thresholds used for the Wind Speed and Wind Gust lights above.
