Yes there is. I'll get to be an expert witness someday I think the potential for equipment loss alone is reason enough for an individual to find it in their best interests to avoid flying BVLOS. I think flying BVLOS because you think 'there is not dangers' down-range is as reckless as...

VLOS is for everyone and the safety of everyone else. When the aircraft is BVLOS, it is flying itself, not being flown by the operator. It will likely always be off-limits to hobbyists, The Big Shipping and Delivery companies (name yer poison) will dominate civilian BVLOS and how the...
