Where does it say that VLOS has max limit of 500m on the CAA website?

[DTH]

@PingSpike

Where did you get the 500m distance figure from in your question there Dave?

Here…

@greenjob

The maximum distance a UAV should be flown from its operator is 500 meters or not beyond the visible line of sight if less than the 500 meters.

So why would you want to be extending your range to over a mile?

@leeheyes

But again, remember the 500 metre limit…

@Asgard

OV, I will not be part of a forum that shuts up people for pointing out the law and tacitly condones the unlawful and in my view irresponsible actions.

all the best and goodbye

And anywhere else you find people talking about drones TBH - I even disagreed with the chap I spoke to at the CAA when I called for information a while ago. The distance is NOT definitively defined - it’s a guideline - I have NO idea why it isn’t to be honest.

Again, as always - Happy to be corrected
