I always thought, for the safe operation of a drone, the operator always had to have line of sight. What concerns me is these drones travelling around, for example, Dublin 15 or Fingal, and the operator does not have that physical line of sight. That is a real concern for me. The IAA is responsible for safety. Have the witnesses any concerns in that regard?
