In this episode you will learn:
- VLOS must be maintained by the remote PIC using only natural vision, though corrective lenses are allowed.
- Binoculars are prohibited for the primary purpose of maintaining Visual Line of Sight under §107.31.
- A Visual Observer (VO) is mandatory when the remote PIC uses FPV goggles that obstruct their direct view of the drone.
- Communication between the PIC and VO must be direct and unassisted by electronic devices.
- The remote PIC is ultimately responsible for the flight and cannot regain lost VLOS solely through the Visual Observer's guidance.
