A hedge hides a public path just outside the nominal operating area. What should the pilot do if no observer can see whether people are approaching?

Answer

Move the route farther from the hidden boundary, reposition the crew, or use another control that makes entry detectable. Do not rely on a buffer that cannot be monitored when people may enter it.

Explanation

A boundary only protects people if the crew can tell when it is being compromised.
