EVLOS Manned Aircraft Avoidance and VHF Communication

In plain language

If a manned aircraft is within 3 nautical miles and 1,500 feet of your EVLOS flight, you or a trained observer must use a VHF radio to broadcast your position or communicate directly with the pilot to prevent any hazard.

Requirement as structured

If a manned aircraft is flying or likely to fly within 3 NM and 1,500 ft of an EVLOS operation, the remote pilot must use (or direct a trained observer to use) the relevant VHF channel for broadcasts or direct communication to avoid hazards.

Original regulatory text

If, during an EVLOS operation, a manned aircraft is: (a) flying in the relevant airspace of the operation... or (b) likely to be flying in the relevant airspace; then, the remote pilot for the EVLOS operation must ensure that the operation does not become a hazard to the manned aircraft, by using, or, subject to subsection (1A), by directing a certified and appropriately trained visual observer to use, the relevant aeronautical VHF channel for: (c) regular broadcasts; or (d) direct radiocommunication with the pilot of the manned aircraft.
