First Person View General Exemption for FPV

As long as you meet the requirements:

a) The remote pilot (within the meaning given in article 94G of the Order), is the person that is piloting the small unmanned aircraft (see Note 2).

b) The remote pilot must be accompanied by a competent observer who maintains direct unaided visual contact with the small unmanned aircraft sufficient to monitor its flight path in relation to other aircraft, persons, vehicles, vessels and structures for the purpose of avoiding collisions and advises the remote pilot accordingly.

c) The maximum take-off mass of the small unmanned aircraft shall not exceed 3.5 kg, including any batteries or fuel.

(Basically it is fine as long as you bring a spotter).

Other flight restrictions still apply like no flying in restricted airspace without permission and the normal rules hobbyist used to be under. No commercial flying under this exemption (that is covered by other rules).

The way the new law was written, it sounded like FPV would be illegal completely without a Remote Pilot's License. This exemption basically means you don't need that license for hobby flying.
