They're using the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, so likely legal on that score. Now, the whole "don't receive human-originated commands" part of that box is going to be a bit of a pain, until you remember that it's not technically part of the rule.


OTOH, might just be simpler to use large signage (not obnoxiously large) held by an HP. Also, the Pilot can use body language.
