[QUOTE="JD4x4, post: 49212, member: 33"] [INDENT][/INDENT] Seems pretty poorly written. Interesting jumble of "and", "or", "either". Clearly I'm missing something. A visual observer is optional, but if one is used then all flight crew (lol) must maintain direct visual observation. So at the point where the observer loses sight, as long as the pilot and the one in control can conform to 107.31 (a) 1, 2, 3, and 4 then the visual observer can be declared optional by the remote pilot in command and 107.33 does not apply, only 107.31 (b). ? Maybe I need to see the requirements and responsibilities for the remote pilot in command. Probably not authorized to change the flight crew while airborne. Gotta love the Washington, D.C. vernacular and authoring style. But it reads to me like 107.31 (b) is saying the remote pilot in command simply needs to ensure that either the visual observer maintains sight (and the other reqmts. of 107.31 (a)) [B][I]or[/I][/B] he and the one in control both can, or optionally all crew.
