Determination of Safe Distance from Uninvolved Persons

In plain language

When flying in subcategory A2, you must personally determine what a safe distance from uninvolved people is, taking into account your drone's performance, the current weather, and how well the area is segregated.

Requirement as structured

EASA guidance states that the remote pilot is ultimately responsible for determining the safe distance of the UA from uninvolved persons, which depends on UAS performance, weather, and area segregation.

Original regulatory text

The safe distance of the UA from uninvolved persons is variable and is heavily dependent on the performance and characteristics of the UAS involved, the weather conditions and the segregation of the overflown area. The remote pilot is ultimately responsible for the determination of this distance.
