When FPV goggles are used, what is the role of the visual observer?

• A. Watch the drone during flight
• B. Control the drone
• C. Repair the drone
• D. Record data

Answer: (A)

When FPV goggles are used, the visual observer watches the drone during flight to maintain safe operation. While the pilot uses the FPV view, the visual observer relies on their own eyes to keep the aircraft in sight, monitor its position relative to people, structures, and other aircraft, and alert the pilot to any hazards or unexpected actions. This role helps ensure you stay aware of your surroundings and avoid collisions, since the FPV feed alone doesn’t show everything happening around the drone. The visual observer does not control the drone, repair it, or record data; those tasks belong to the pilot or other personnel.
