I read that some people regard the "Visual Line of Sight" to include use of the controller, and NOT necessarily mean that my eyes MUST SEE THE DRONE IN THE AIR SPACE.
Will people who have actually taken the certification class, or people who actually have the 107 cetification, please tell me what they mean by visual line of sight.
If it means that our drones must be physically visible by the naked eye, then are people asking for 107.31 waivers for flying their waypoint missions outside their visual line of sight? How are people navigating this part of the rule?
I plan on flying above tree lines, and the drone is "out of physical sight" pretty quickly. But I can manuever with the controller fairly well, with the use of maps / GPS, and keep the drone well above tree height. But I don't go too far out yet.
I am hoping to fly missions for a parcel mapping co. and will need to get the drone lic. and become insured. I am just curious if a waiver is needed, used, or difficult to receive, as this will hamper what I plan to do a bit.
