I'm not sure where you're getting the third person from. The silly buddy box method is quite simple. It's the same as the club training method where the instructor controls the plane and the student flys using a buddy box, except in this case the 'student' is wearing the FPV gear.Malcurin wrote:just edited my post after checking the Australian rules on this too , mainly to compare, and they are the same word for word, sorry Australians but you need the 3 person setup also
The pilot in command shall not use the FPV down link.

The buddy box rule was obviously written by someone who had never actually flown FPV (or maybe just once) and was trying to fit FPV into their 3rd person, looking up from the ground, perspective. Obviously their setup didn't have circularly polarized antennas, a RTL system, probably not even an OSD. The old rules possibly had merit when the first FPV planes ever created were having their maiden flights, but as with all things electronic, we've come a long way since then.
