Remote pilots operating under Part 107 must maintain visual line of sight between which two entities?

• A. PIC and UA
• B. ATC and UA
• C. Ground crew and UA
• D. Pilot and weather

Answer: (A)

Visual line of sight under Part 107 means the pilot in command must be able to see the unmanned aircraft with their own eyes at all times (corrective lenses allowed) so they can judge position, altitude, and orientation and react to hazards. The PIC is responsible for keeping the aircraft in sight, ensuring safe operation and collision avoidance. A visual observer can assist by helping maintain sight of the aircraft, but the requirement centers on the PIC seeing the UA. The other options don’t involve the operator maintaining direct sight with the aircraft.
