Moving From VLOS to BVLOS Operations

Knowing when to shift from Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) operations to Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) can be tricky. Most drone programs start small with simple missions, but as your operations expand, so does the need for more advanced capabilities.

This guide will walk you through the journey from VLOS to Extended Visual Line of Sight (EVLOS) and on to BVLOS, helping you decide when it’s the right time to make the move.

What you'll learn

• The differences between VLOS, EVLOS, and BVLOS
• The operational signs it’s time to shift
• How BVLOS improves ROI, safety, and efficiency
• Key use cases across industries like mining and utilities
• The compliance and tech requirements you’ll need to plan for

Whether you’re scaling routine operations or breaking ground on new projects, this guide is your roadmap to smarter decisions.
