Handover procedures between remote pilots during EVLOS operations

In plain language

You can only hand over control of a drone during an EVLOS flight to another pilot who is fully qualified for EVLOS, and you must follow your operator's approved handover procedures.

Requirement as structured

Control of an RPA during an EVLOS operation must not be transferred to another remote pilot unless they comply with section 5.06 and the handover is conducted in accordance with the operator's documented procedures.
