Where is that legal today? Don't personal drones have to be manually operated by someone on the ground within line of sight among other restrictions in the US?


The phrase “visual line of sight” is sometimes distinguished from “line of sight,” which can refer to operation in which a radio signal can be transmitted directly from an operator to a UAS that may be beyond visual line of sight.


And don't you need visual line of sight according to the FAA in order to operate model aircraft / drones?


I have never seen this distinction made before. cite?
