Temporary Monitor Checks During VLOS Flights

In plain language

During a visual line of sight (VLOS) flight, you must keep your eyes on the drone, but you are allowed to briefly look down at your screen to check critical information like battery life.

Requirement as structured

JCAB states that temporarily looking away from the drone to check a monitor for safety purposes, such as checking the remaining battery level, is permitted within the scope of visual line of sight (VLOS) flight.

Original regulatory text
