Total range is dependent on both fuel available and specific range. When range and economy of operation are the principle goals, the remote pilot must ensure that the sUAS is operated at the recommended long-range cruise condition. By this procedure, the sUAS will be capable of its maximum design-operating radius, or can achieve lesser flight distances with a maximum of fuel reserve at the destination.
