RPAS Remote Visual Observer (RVO) SOP Manual
 
This manual is the definitive guide for training and deploying personnel in the critical role of the Remote Visual Observer (RVO). It is specifically titled to cover Detect-and-Avoid procedures, making it essential for any organization conducting or preparing for advanced operations under the TC RPOC umbrella.
 
Why the RVO-SOP is Critical for Complex Operations:
 
The RVO is the human element of your detect-and-avoid system. This manual provides the detailed protocols necessary to ensure the RVO functions effectively, maintaining safety in complex airspace environments.
 
Dedicated Advanced Procedures: It outlines the specific Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the RVO in all phases of flight, including pre-flight planning, launch, and recovery.
 
Intruder and Emergency Response: The manual provides clear, standardized responses for critical situations, defining the RVO's announcement and action during events such as:
Intruder into Airspace
Loss of Control Link
 
Regulatory Compliance: The document directly references the Canadian Aviation Regulations (CARs) Part IX, ensuring the RVO's duties are aligned with Transport Canada requirements for advanced operations.
 
Ready-to-Use Emergency Annex: It includes a practical Fly-Away Notification Script (Annex A). This scripted communication is prepared for immediate use when notifying an Air Traffic Control (ATC) unit or Flight Information Centre (FIC) during a fly-away event, which is a key component of a functional Emergency Response Plan.
 
Mandatory Training Compliance: The manual requires all personnel to successfully complete a standardized RVO training program and demonstrate proficiency in these procedures before being authorized to act as an RVO, tying directly into your overall Training Plan.
