Familiarity with Light Conditions and Electromagnetic Hazards

In plain language

Be aware of the lighting conditions (e.g., glare or darkness) and look out for high-power antennas, power lines, or industrial equipment that could interfere with your drone's signals or compass.

Requirement as structured

EASA accepts that the remote pilot identifies potential sources of electromagnetic energy and familiarises themselves with light conditions as a means of complying with UAS.OPEN.060(1)(c).

Original regulatory text

The remote pilot should be familiar with the operating environment and the light conditions, and make a reasonable effort to identify potential sources of electromagnetic energy, which may cause undesirable effects, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) or physical damage to the operational equipment of the UAS.
