First Person View R/C will be a legal and recognised aspect of model flying and as such is covered by the MACI Insurance policy but ONLY where the following conditions are applied:
• The activity is solely for 'sport and recreation' purposes.
• Two MACI member pilots must take part.
• A Buddy Box system must be employed.
• The pilot in charge must operate the master transmitter.
• The pilot in charge must not wear the headset or view a screen.
• The aircraft remains within the natural unaided visual range of the pilot in charge.
• Reliable operation of the Buddy Box is established.
• A clear handover protocol is established.
• The pilot in charge is solely responsible for the safety of the flight.
• The model weight shall be limited to a maximum of 5 kg.
• The model should have the insurance number of the planes owner.
These operating conditions very clearly place the legal responsibility for the safety of the flight on the pilot in charge, additionally the responsibility for the legality of the transmitting/receiving equipment utilised also rests with the pilot in charge.
A stunt pilot escaped from the wreckage of his glider after the plane slammed into a runway in front of 15,000 horrified fans at an airshow.
