Drone operators require an OSC when they want to perform missions exceeding the parameters of Standard Permissions in the Specific Category.

This includes

• Flying less than 50m from uninvolved buildings / property.

• Flying less than 50m horizontally of crowds of people.

• Flying more than 400ft in altitude.

• Conducting EVLOS missions with multiple pilots.

• Flying beyond visual line of site (BVLOS).

The permissions for each OSC are specific to the demands/requirements of each operator, however, the heliguy™ OSC consultant has helped clients achieve permissions such as flights at 1,000ft altitude; 1,500m EVLOS; and reduced separation distances of 20m in flight and 20m at take off.
