[QUOTE="Virtual1, post: 25705, member: 4084"] well part of my point was also that "line of sight" doesn't guarantee you can [I]see[/I] it. Or that you can [I]find[/I] it even if it's still close enough for you to be able to identify. And when it's out that far, you really can't tell its position relative to anything else near it. A good example would be to say you could easily fly up to 200ft and out a ways in a park, high enough to get above the tress so you could continue to keep LOS with it as you fly over the treeline you can't see through. Then you stop a few hundred feet out and loiter for some pictures. And when you finally tilt the camera straight down (which you might not even DO) only then do you see that you've stopped over another group of people at a nearby shelter in the park having a large gathering and you've been hovering directly over dozens of curious and slightly worried people. (which you're [I]not[/I] supposed to do!) LOS by itself isn't very failsafe. [/QUOTE]
