use of any device; and
 (iv) do the following:
            (A) advise the remote pilot if the RPA is likely to become a hazard to any other aircraft, or any person or property;
            (B) direct the remote pilot on the action required to ensure that the RPA does not become a hazard to another aircraft, person or property;
            (C) immediately direct the safe termination of the operation if:
 (I) the exact location of the RPA is lost to the relevant observer's direct sight or knowledge; or
 (II) the RPA becomes a hazard to another aircraft, person or property and termination of the operation is the only safe course of action.
Note 1   A flight may be ended by means of controlled flight into terrain, if this is possible without creating a hazard to other aircraft, people or property, and all other options are exhausted.
Note 2   An EVLOS operation extends the distance of operation of an RPA. However, by virtue of the definition, the remote pilot, while operating the RPA using FPV, cannot be the observer for an EVLOS class 1 operation.
EVLOS operation class 2 means an RPA operation that is beyond VLOS in which:
(a) at least 1 trained visual observer class 2 (the observer) is used; and
(b) the RPA, and the ground beneath and the airspace surrounding the RPA, is:
           (i) located within VLOS for each relevant observer throughout the operation; or
           (ii) beyond VLOS but with the relevant observer knowing the exact location of the RPA; and
(c) the observer is in a different location from the remote pilot; and
(d) an FPV system may be used, but not as a substitute for any observer; and
(e) the observer's duty is to:
           (i) either:
            (A) keep the RPA constantly within VLOS; or
            (B) know the exact location of the RPA; and
           (ii) maintain constant situational awareness of the air space surrounding, and the ground below, the RPA operation; and
           (iii) remain in continual direct, verbal communication with the remote pilot using an effective communication system; and
          Note   The system must use reliable modern technology that enables effective spoken communication.
           (iv) do the following:
            (A) advise the remote pilot if the RPA is likely to become a hazard to any other aircraft, or any person or property;
            (B) direct the remote pilot on the action required to ensure that the RPA operation does not become a hazard to another aircraft, person or property;
            (C) immediately direct the safe termination of the operation if:
 (I) the exact location of the RPA is lost to the relevant observer's direct sight or knowledge; or
 (II) the RPA becomes a hazard to another aircraft, person or property and termination of the
