Maintaining Ability to See UA and Evaluate Obstacle Distance

In plain language

You must always keep the drone close enough to clearly see it with your own eyes and accurately judge how far it is from any obstacles.

Requirement as structured

EASA accepts that the remote pilot keeps the UA at a distance where they are always able to clearly see it and evaluate its distance from other obstacles as a means of complying with UAS.OPEN.060(2)(b).
