Emergency Landing Area Selection

In plain language

When planning BVLOS flights, you should identify emergency landing spots that your drone can actually reach in a failure state, ensuring they are far away from people.

Requirement as structured

CAAS states that operators should identify emergency recovery landing areas located within the trajectory limits of the UAS and at a safe distance from areas with human traffic.

Original regulatory text
