I understand your concerns, I can assure you I take all the pre-flight procedures to ensure the safety of my flights.
In response to VLOS, once the aircraft is in the air then the rules of VLOS apply. I know were the aircraft is at and what...
Last you check!!! please show the reg that state that the PIC is require to watch the UAS take off???? not that I'm taking anything light, but don't quote the law if you don't know the law!
