An operator needs to fly beyond visual line of sight for a specific project. What is the correct regulatory path?

• A.Proceed with the project, because the visual line-of-sight requirement is only a general recommendation
• B.Apply for a waiver of the visual line-of-sight provision listed in 107.205, showing the operation can be done safely
• C.Use a visual observer equipped with binoculars for the whole flight and treat that as an approved waiver

Why

Visual line-of-sight requirements are among the provisions that can be waived through the 107.200 process with an adequate safety case. Simply proceeding, or stretching visual observer aids, is not a substitute for a granted waiver.
