Quizplus · Accepted Answer

VLOS stands for Visual Line of Sight, which refers to the category of RPA operation where the pilot must maintain visual contact with the aircraft at all times. ALOS stands for Above Line of Sight, which means the pilot can operate the RPA beyond their visual line of sight but must maintain radio or satellite communication with the aircraft. BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) and RPS (Remote Piloted System) both refer to categories of RPA operation where the pilot does not need to maintain visual contact with the aircraft, but instead relies on sensors, cameras, or other technology to control and navigate the aircraft.
