Many pilots and cameramen neglect to figure out in advance which is the best side to shoot out from in respect of

wind direction
sun direction
direction of development of the shot (clockwise or counter clockwise).



Perhaps the pilot should be a little more proactive
pointing out limitations of low level flight in a particular orientation.

Mind reading what the production team wants in advance is the biggest challenge.
