Meteorological Monitoring and Recovery

In plain language

You must keep a close eye on the weather before and during your BVLOS flight. If the weather gets worse than what your drone is rated to handle, you must land or recover it immediately.

Requirement as structured

CAAS states that operators must closely monitor weather conditions across the entire operational area before and during BVLOS flights, and must immediately recover the aircraft if conditions deteriorate beyond its design limits.

Original regulatory text

BG8 Prior to and during the operation, the meteorological conditions should be monitored closely in the whole area of operations. If the meteorological condition deteriorates to beyond what the UA is designed for, the UA should be recovered immediately.
