Exception for First Person View (FPV) and Follow-Me Flights

In plain language

You can fly using FPV goggles or use a follow-me drone, but you must have a second person with you to watch the drone and the surrounding airspace to ensure safety.

Requirement as structured

First Person View (FPV) flights and the use of follow-me unmanned aircraft are permitted provided specific safety conditions are met, notably the presence of a second person to ensure safety.

Original regulatory text

Les vols en immersion (FPV : First Person View) et l'utilisation d'aéronefs sans équipage à bord suiveurs sont toutefois possibles sous certaines conditions nécessitant notamment la présence d'une seconde personne pour assurer la sécurité.
