In plain language

If you are flying a medium-risk BVLOS mission, you should keep the total time spent flying directly over uninvolved people to less than 30% of your total flight time.

Requirement as structured

CAAS states that for medium-risk BVLOS operations, the total duration of flight over uninvolved persons should be less than 30% of the overall flight duration.

Original regulatory text

(b) Risk category – Medium. This category refers to an operation where the UA is flown in proximity to uninvolved persons; or where the UA is expected to fly over uninvolved persons, such overflying should be minimised and only when necessary. As a general reference, the total duration that an UA is flying over uninvolved persons should be less than 30% of the overall flight duration.
