What is BVLOS?

Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) refers to drone operations where the drone flies beyond the visual range of the pilot. The pilot controls the drone using onboard cameras and navigation systems, rather than relying on visual observation, allowing for more versatile and far-reaching drone applications. As a result, aviation authorities like the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in the United States and other similar bodies worldwide have established specific regulations and requirements for performing BVLOS operations.
