Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS)

Flying past where you can see the aircraft — and building the approval case that lets you.

Course Overview

BVLOS is where unmanned aviation stops being a camera on a stick and starts being aviation. Once the aircraft is beyond your sight, you cannot see and avoid, you cannot judge its attitude, and everything depends on systems and procedure.

That is why BVLOS is approval-dependent everywhere, and why the approval is granted on the strength of your safety case rather than your flying. This course teaches both halves: how to operate beyond visual line of sight, and how to build the argument that convinces an authority to let you.

For Nepal in particular, BVLOS is the capability that makes long infrastructure corridors, mountain survey and remote-area response economically viable.

PrerequisitesRemote pilot licence, substantial commercial experience, and normally an operator certificate. This is an advanced course.
FormatTheory-heavy, with practical procedures. Approval outcomes depend on the authority, not on us.
