When do I need an OSC?
Drone pilots will need an OSC when wanting to operate outside the normal boundaries of a Standard Permission.
These operations include flying less than 50m from uninvolved people/properties; flying less than 50m horizontally of assemblies of people; operating more than 400ft above the surface; and conducting EVLOS (Extended Visual Line of Sight) or BVLOS (Beyond Visual Line of Sight) missions.
