The Kp Index measures geomagnetic disruption caused by solar activity around the world, on a scale from 0 (calm) to 9 (major storm).
The higher the Kp index, the more likely the drone is to have problems.
| Kp of 0 - 4 | Generally safe |
| Kp of 4 - 7 | May experience minor GPS issues |
| Kp of 7 - 8 | May lose a single satellite lock and may cause inaccurate location readings, radio/control interference possible |
| Kp of 8+ | Unsafe. You may lose multiple satellite locks. Higher chance of inaccurate location readings, severe radio range impact, and onboard electronics interference |
