What does it mean to have 'direct sight' of your drone while flying?

Using binoculars to get a clear view
Having a clear line of sight without additional equipment
Using technology to track its location
Keeping it in a designated area only

The correct answer is: Having a clear line of sight without additional equipment

Having 'direct sight' of your drone while flying means maintaining a clear line of sight to it without any additional equipment, such as binoculars or any screens. This concept is crucial for ensuring safe operation, as it allows the pilot to observe the drone’s position, altitude, and movement in relation to the surrounding environment and other air traffic. Maintaining visual contact helps the pilot to quickly react to any potential obstacles or hazards that may arise during flight. The regulations typically require that pilots keep their drones within visual line of sight to avoid accidents and ensure the safety of both the drone and other people in the vicinity. This principle emphasizes the need for an unobstructed view of the drone at all times, which cannot be achieved through technology that provides indirect observations, such as GPS trackers or cameras.
