Abstract
Stability of an unmanned aerial vehicle is sought by using a flight controller of an unmanned aerial vehicle control system for controlling flying by an unmanned aerial vehicle based on an instruction from a first operator. A determiner is used to determine whether a second operator visually recognizes the unmanned aerial vehicle based on a predetermined determination method. A switcher is used to switch, based on a result of the determination obtained by the determiner, from a first state, in which the unmanned aerial vehicle flies in accordance with an instruction from the first operator, to a second state, in which the unmanned aerial vehicle flies in accordance with an instruction from the second operator.
