FPV Devices Do Not Satisfy VLOS

In plain language

You can fly using FPV goggles, but because FPV does not satisfy the VLOS requirement, you must have another method (like a Visual Observer) to maintain actual VLOS.

Requirement as structured

First person view (FPV) devices may be used during operations, but do not satisfy the VLOS requirement.
