Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) Operation

In plain language

You must keep your drone within your direct line of sight at all times so you can see, orient, and navigate it to avoid collisions.

Requirement as structured

An unmanned aircraft must be operated within the visual line of sight of the person operating it, unless the operator holds a specific approval to operate beyond visual line of sight.

Original regulatory text

A person commits an offence of strict liability if: (a) the person operates an unmanned aircraft; and (b) the aircraft is not operated within the person’s visual line of sight.
