Use of visual aids by EVLOS observers

In plain language

Observers can use binoculars or telescopes to help them spot hazards, but they must primarily rely on their own unaided eyes to monitor the airspace and ground.

Requirement as structured

An EVLOS observer may use devices like binoculars or telescopes to assist them, but must not use the device as the primary means of keeping the surrounding airspace and ground in sight.

Original regulatory text
