Physical Familiarisation with the Environment

In plain language

If feasible, walk around your planned flying area before taking off to get a clear, ground-level view of any obstacles or hazards.

Requirement as structured

EASA accepts that the remote pilot familiarises themselves with the environment and obstacles by walking around the operation area when possible as a means of complying with UAS.OPEN.060(1)(c).

Original regulatory text
