Unfortunately the link to the actual legislation from the page you linked isn't returning a result at the moment, but the rest of the page states:
The only exception is flying in FPV under the rules of the Model Aeronautical Association of Australia, of which I used to be a member at one time. Relying on a homing device is not First Person View and while you are riding and it is following you, you are not seeing the aircraft with your own eyes. I don't see much room for alternative interpretations there.CASA wrote:You should only fly in visual line-of-sight, in day visual meteorological conditions (VMC). What does that mean?
No night flying (generally).
No flying in or through cloud or fog, and you should.
Be able to see the aircraft with your own eyes (rather than through first-person-view [FPV, binoculars, telescopes]) at all times, (unless you operate under the procedures of an approved model flying association. Contact the MAAA for more information about flying FPV).
Good luck. I hope I'm wrong.
