I was taught to scan for traffic to the rear of the side to which I
intend to turn before making the turn.

That may be, but do you perform this scan in all quadrants in real-time?

If necessary.

Or only when you need it? My point is you appear to be placing a higher
standard on UAV's than are placed on existing aircraft/pilots.

That is not my intent.

By the way, where in Part 61 are the vision requirements specified?

Ah, Part *67*, just as I thought. You were either lying or ignorant when
you made this claim:
"It's doubtful the...UAV operators' vision systems would function equal to
or better than that required meet the Part 61 requirements."

Part 61 (§61.23) requires the pilot of an airplane to possess a valid
Medical Certificate, so it indirectly mandates pilots to meet the
vision requirements of Part 67.

Why would you think I was fabricating the pilot vision requirement?
Do you hold an airmans certificate?

As near as I can tell, the words "vision", "eyesight" and "sight" don't even
appear in Part 61.

See above.

Further, you admitted elsewhere in this thread that you
have no idea what the capabilities of these systems are (yet more
ignorance).

I believe the UAV capabilities are a bit of a moving target, as its
systems are still under development.

But why let the facts get in the way of your quixotic quest, eh?

You haven't provided any facts at all, only personal opinion, so you
have no accountability at all to worry over.
