What are the requirments to legally fly out of line of sight?

[Pulltab]

I know that even with a Part 107 certificate, commercial pilots must stay within line of sight, so what license is required to fly out of sight? Is only military allowed to fly out of sight?

You would need a waiver from the FAA.

Request a Part 107 Waiver or Operation in Controlled Airspace

Determine the kind of waiver or authorization you need to perform your Part 107 operation. Common requests include the options below. View the complete list of Part 107 regulations subject to waiver.

• Flying directly over a person or people (§ 107.39)
  
• Flying from a moving vehicle or aircraft, not in a sparsely populated area (§ 107.25)
  
• Flying multiple aircraft with only one pilot (§ 107.35)
  
• Flying beyond the pilot's visual line-of-sight (§ 107.31)
  
• Flying above 400 feet (§ 107.51B)

The OP mentions the Part 107 certificate, presumably that indicates the United States.

Am I correct in saying that in the UK the CAA have an exemption for FPV flying? General exemption E4185 with a competent observer and a number of other conditions you can fly out of sight.
