Geocage Testing and Usage

In plain language

You must set up a virtual boundary (geocage) for your flight area, test it on the ground first, and only ask air traffic control for clearance if it is working correctly.

Requirement as structured

Drone operators must set a geocage corresponding to the permitted flying area, test it on the ground prior to flight, and only request flight clearance if the geocage is working properly.

Original regulatory text

The flight remains within the area permitted by the Operational Helpdesk. To do this, set a geocage that corresponds to the allowed flying area. Test the geocage on the ground prior to flight. You may only request flight clearance from tower traffic control if the geocage is working properly.
