UA Observers and First-Person View (FPV) Operations

In plain language

You can fly FPV with an observer helping you, but you are still responsible for the flight.

Requirement as structured

EASA guidance states that UA observers may also be used when the remote pilot conducts UAS operations in first-person view (FPV), a method of controlling the aircraft with the aid of a visual system connected to the aircraft camera. In any case, including during FPV operations, the remote pilot remains responsible for the safety of the flight.
