Maximum Height Above Remote Pilot for Unmanned Sailplane Derogation

In plain language

When flying an unmanned sailplane along a slope under this derogation, you must not fly higher than 120 meters above your own position (the remote pilot), rather than measuring 120 meters from the closest point of the terrain.

Requirement as structured

EASA guidance notes that the derogation for unmanned sailplanes operating along slopes limits the maximum height above the remote pilot to 120 metres.

Original regulatory text

(b) The maximum height above the remote pilot is limited to 120 m, which reduces the air risk.
