It is if the pilot can't scan for traffic or search for a
suitable emergency landing site.


Is the UAV pilot not able to scan for traffic or search for a suitable
emergency landing site?


It's doubtful the ground based UAV operators' vision systems would
function equal to or better than that required meet the Part 61
requirements. It would be necessary for the systems to provide color,
binocular, 20/20 vision in all quadrants, in real-time.

Anything less would restrict a lot more airspace or negatively impact
public air safety (or both), wouldn't it?
