FAA Announces Drone Remote ID Proposal
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 сен 2024
- After nearly 4 years, the FAA has finally released their plans to require Remote Identification on all drones and RC Aircraft. This video summarizes it for you, so you can submit your comments to the FAA before March 1st. Could this be the end of the hobby? I hope not.

One correction to the video - you will still be able to launch if there is no internet connection as long as the drone can broadcast. I initially read that incorrectly. I apologize for the confusion.
ok..so if the drone is capable you are ok to fly regardless if it actually makes connection or not. for example if you fly in the middle of nowhere with no internet or cell towers available right?
also are you able to use a mavic mini for furtherance of a business since it's in a different category of drone. I am 50 percent through my part 107 training using that site you recommended in your passing video. Good stuff.
This is gold
John Lawson is there a difference between “government control” and “*excessive* government control”?
To use your car example, passenger automobiles for highway use have a whole set of government regulations around them, not only registration requirements and manufacturing regulations but also operating requirements like insurance and licensing. Note that the hobbyist automotive markets (eg, race cars, custom built cars) have less rules and regulations. And, I will go on record here predicting that a government agency will come into existence in order to manage the requirements for autonomous cars continuously broadcasting their locations before fully autonomous cars are allowed to become widespread.
Most people are completely comfortable with most or all of the rules and regulations around passenger cars because a reasonable case can be made for those rules and regulations. Are they excessive? Perhaps! But it’s hard to make a coherent case that they were created and exist in furtherance or a vast government conspiracy to monitor and control citizens; Occam’s razor suggests that the rules exist to keep people safe, and represent a balance between safety and freedom (and before you quote Jefferson at me, I’m not talking about fundamental freedoms, I mean “freedom to drive a car that puts others (or its occupants) at risk.
Getting back to drones, the issue that the FAA at least claims to be trying to address is how to deconflict drone airspace from commercial airspace, deconflict commercial drone flights from each other and from recreational drone flights, and also to manage the spectrum available for the ADS-B mandate that goes into effect tomorrow (Jan 1 2020).
There are a whole host of technical and operator considerations that are germane and there is a process by which the FAA will be responsive to drone operator input but to shout conspiracy theories at them (or remain silent) will not bring about change.
I don’t own any drones and I feel like I was robbed from freedom.
Coming Soon... The new DJI Kite - with 200 feet of string, and a 4K camera on a gimbal.
Followed quickly by kite registration and regulations.
And registration on string which would make every person I the us who owns a sewing machine register their thread
DJI SUCKS!
Hah!🤣🤣🤣🤣.....man i love u guys!
@@ryanakers1372 😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much for breaking this down Russ. I have a few major issues with this proposal as it is currently and will be commenting. My first major concern is the requirement of connectivity is terrible. almost all places I fly have not connectivity of any kind. the second is the storage and use of data by private companies that I am going to be mandated to pay to use...
Exactly!
This is just one of my msin concerns. I have my part 107. If I travel an hour to a job site and then can not take off I'm in big trouble. This could mean the end for a lot of UAS businesses. I'll be expressing my opinions with each of my 4 emails in hopes that one will actually be read by the FAA. My guess is we will crash the server for opinions (predicted here first). Oh, and thank you Russ.
I totally agree. Many of the places I intend to do drone footage are remote locations, and I know that there are a lot of commercial pilots and businesses that would be crippled with this.
Thanks for breaking this up. I’ll share to other drone groups. We need a unified voice of what changes we want to be implemented to protect recreational flyers. May be for your next video try to collect opinions on what those changes should be. The more of us saying the same thing the more weight it will have, rather than just flooding the FAA website with angry comments that has no weight?
@@droneguynh6371 That is the plan. If you can not afford to be up to code then you can not afford to be in the hobby and that is how they want it. If you are not loaded with cash then you are not allowed to fly. They are effectively trying to price entire classes out of the hobby. I see this as class warfare on another level.
Nicely done Russ. 2 years ago we had crazy drone regulations pushed upon us in Canada by people who were a rather small group in Government. Much of what was pushed was due in part to false info that drones were dangerous and the lobbying from the commercial sector who felt the recreational sector was taking their business away. The Canadians in the RC recreational Hobby pushed back by lobbying their local politicians, as well as having RC hobby clubs join in. DJI even helped out the recreational sector by putting forth additional lobbying. In the end, the ridiculous regulations were watered down and we have what we have today and I still fly no different than I did before. Some of our current UAS regulations appear to have made it into your new FAA proposal. At first, many Canadians in the hobby did exactly the same thing that I see so many Americans doing and that is giving up and throwing in the towel. Come on guys, you are Americans which are not know for giving up when things get tough. Fight for your rights and what you believe in and you'll see positive progress! The world is watching.
lol.... Not how the government works here.
what about remote i.d. what will happen to model reviews when most of the hobbyists will stop flying because of all the rules ////I hate this proposal largely because of the privacy issues (e.g., public will be able to see your flight location and government will have every bit of information about all of your flights...take off locations and all flight telemetry) and because of the additional fees that I will have to pay under this new regulation (e.g., monthly subscription fees that will surely increase with time, fees to register each and every drone, increase phone data plan cost because I'll now be required to transmit my drone's telemetry to the USS once per second) that I will have to pay to enjoy the hobby. The FAA, through it's USS surrogates will have access to ALL of my detailed flight data for EVERY single flight I make and thus have the potential of fining me for any violation based on that flight data. For example, they could determine if a particular flight was BVLOS or if you inadvertently flew to 401 feet AGL. It would be quite easy for the FAA to create an application that would scour through all new flight data added in the database each night and auto generate citations for violations and send it to you via email (because they have of all of your personal information). The possibilities of terrible things that could be done with all of this data are mind blowing.
The good news wrt to flying in remote location without data service/internet service. Actually the proposal states that if you have a Standard RemoteID compliant drone and there is no internet service available then you will be able to take off and fly as long as your drone's broadcasting feature is operational (and the only reason it wouldn't be operational is if it were "broken"). The drone's onboard broadcasting feature does NOT require internet connectivity (or data service). And if there is no internet connection it states that you will not be required to connect with a USS. This is the concession that the FAA has made to allow for flying in remote areas where no data or internet service is available.
Who would've thought that if you criminalize a lot of things, you end up with a lot of criminals
So they can screw us for more money that is all this is
Jasmine Jiran Well you are halfway there maam! Now say that with what that treasonous tyrant governor in VA is doing presently! That's right....law abiding gun owning citizens of awesome upstanding...are going to turn into criminals and there could soon be checkpointes into that state like a Nazi ran germany in 1942!
YO end up with a lot of criminals in the eyes of manmade unconstitutional laws that mask themselves as being a safety concerns. Just like Terrorism, See where that is taking us. Just like Illegal immigration...see how safe that is! Just like he Opium being trafficked into the US killing so many with herion addiction...Yes..the govt is concerned for our safety. They care so much they spray us with Aluminum, barium and Strontium. our bees are dying. They allow for vaccines as people are dying of a measles vaccine. Children are being given shots and contracting high levels of mercury and are getting autism. Yes..the govt. is concered for our safety! We who sacifice our liberties for safety and security deserve neither safety, liberty or security! We are considered domestic terrorists for supporting Trump and the Holy Bible. We are innocent yet we can be accused by our neighbor of being a danger to others or ourselves and then we are disarmed until we go to court based on a strangers whim or grudge! TIhs got wants to ban certain weapons so we are safe yet turning in our guns would makes is totally defensless.. This is the sort of safety the govt is concerned with.
@@markoaurelius2046 hey gov, made terror is big biz all those security contracts for companies politicians own stock in. can't interfere in that
Up Next: Walking and Chewing Gum will now require a FAA license.
Does no one remember the "public comment" portion of the FCC's repeal of net neutrality? That was a topic that the general public actually cared about but the FCC just ignored the public outrage and did what they wanted anyway. This is what happens when the branch of government who's job is to enforce the laws is also given the power the make the laws.
Or are paid off by corporations and do their bidding
thank a Libtwit
I will keep my drone just in case is not “grandfathered” or able to be traced just like the Mandalorian’s space ship, old but untraceable! Then I will sell it to the rebels!
This is the way
I have spoken
Jose, Do you think the currently for sale Mavic2 drones have all the FAA transmission crap built in. I think Id like to own a nice drone but not if its talking to the FAA. Thanks
This is like copy protection for software, the only people that they impact are honest consumers.
And gun control laws.
Even if I agree with your sentiment your makeing a straw man. Steel man your opponents position and then prove it wrong and you will be far more convincing.
You know as well as I do that there are drone pilots who both are ignorant of safety and the law, as well as those that are belligerent of it. The vast majority of people that are in one of those two categories purchase commercials drones they don't build them. Since commercial drones must have this capability built into them these people will be easily identified or be unable to use their drone.
This is the primary reason the FAA gives for remote ID. It doesnt matter if you believe them, its their publicly stated position and thus fighting it is the only effective way to change the outcome.
Jarett Jones the real straw man here is supposing that authoritarian control over people in a "free" country is somehow legitimate. These laws are civil infractions. The founding fathers wrote that King George employed extraordinary numbers of these civil regulations. It is important to note that these infractions are generally victimless "crimes" , and are no more than behavioral control. This country was literally founded on the idea that these civil infractions are illegitimate and oppressive and freedom is better than this crap.
@@atari7001 Hear, hear!
@@atari7001 second, I can literally use your argument to argue murder should be legal then. It is after all a behavioural control. Why does it being victemless make it ok. A victim simply is someone directly harmed. Indirect harm is victimless as no direct victim from your actions is easily identified.
The default position is nothing should be regulated, and I mean nothing. You then regulate anything the improves the lives of the majority of citizens. Murder harms more people than it helps so it's illegal.
Just because a law harms you doesn't mean it won't help most of the population.
I'm not saying this proposal will do that. I will argue against poor arguments all day long thought.
Your argument is from the right direction but it doesn't matter one bit what this country was founded on. If it was founded on slavery it wouldn't make slavery ok.
It matters that people are harmed or helped.
Edit:
I should explain why victim is insufficient as a delimenator and harm is the correct metric. A victim is an individual or group of individuals harmed directly by the crime in this instance. If however the crime does no harm I'm and of itself it's victemless such as flying your drone.
However if the legality of one action prevents another action; such as legal drone flying prevents Amazon from providing drone services. Then the society can still be harmed. In this case I think it's perfectly workable to create a remote I'd proposal that doesn't harm the hobby and allows Amazon to do its thing, so in this case no the law isn't correct.
Well we might have 4-1/2 years to enjoy our drones. I expect that the “rules” will eventually get so bad that the recreational pilots will be shut down.
Enjoy them while you can boys and girls.
That's how I feel...
A lot of this is because of companies wanting to limit non commercial pilots competing with them, and the idiots that fly around unsafely all the time.
Except the rebels
But recreational flyers is a billion dollar industry.
I fly for my own needs and wants. I fly in remote areas usually a hundred miles or more from people & buildings.
I will continue to do so until until I am physically unable......probably another 10 years or so.
As far as drones go, I can make my own to suit my needs - without any type of government compliance.
"I'm sorry sir your airplane hit 42 mph, that's 2mph over the speed limit for rc planes, I'm gonna have to fine you 300 dollars"
Yep that's what they will do then you will have cops messing with you.
For me it seems like commercial is trying to clear the sky is so we can have drone deliveries it's always about money I will keep flying my drone anywhere I want
Bloomberg has a large start up drone delivery service and I would not doubt if they have a hand, or an leg 🦵🏾 in that whole damn thing.
@@lukuscarter3563 I'm a lot of stuff that I'm reading it's commercial lobbying to get the airspace clean
Drone delivery does make sense, right now ups has delivery helpers especially around holidays or busy times to go with the driver and the helper just runs packages from the truck to the door, if they can have 8 quads take off with packages from one truck and do that twice it's 16 deliveries from a single stop, and the quads could meet the truck at the next stop. Truck could be always charging batteries to swap out of the quads, I feel it is inevitable, also local deliveries it just makes financial sense... I am a big hobbyist btw I don't want to be pushed out of the sky and basically refuse to as well but larger commercial applications will come and not a ton we can do about it.
lol wait till the delivery drones get knocked outa the sky by jammers :)
AND they are just going to take your drone when they catch you
The easiest way for government to restrict the rights of their citizens is to say that the new restrictions are in the name of “safety”..
EXACTLY!! that’s how they’ve rammed all the crap like this, patriot act, gun laws and restriction of speech down our throats. Under the guise of safety and security.. 🐄 💩
My bet: once the sky’s are flooded with mini drones, they’ll change the rules incorporating ID for them too.
Thank you Russ. I'm all for public safety, and reasonable regulation. I don't want to cause a stir, but it makes no sense to me that when hundreds of thousands of Americans have died from misuse of guns, and not a single has died from misuse of a drone, that the former is considered sacrosanct, and the latter is treated like a potential plague. There needs to be a serious lawsuit, by the recreational drone manufacturers, challenging the Federal government to present data that substantiates an existing threat.
I am a software developer and I worked for the government for many years and I can tell you that a project of this size and complexity will take much more time to pull off. In fact it may never. I believe that the original proposal will be modified so many times that it will barely affect the recreational hobbyist if they decide to be compliant at all. If you fly DJI Phantoms then you may have something to be worried about 10 years down the road but for people that build their own I highly doubt it will be an issue.
We’re drowning in bureaucracy and greed, this is just more government revenue. Crap!
It’s not about money, it’s about control. They’re basically nullifying ALL Constitutional Rights. Basically the entire Bill of Rights is nothing but toilet paper at this point. Better wake up sheeple!
@@BretAllen1 it's very much about money. Otherwise, they wouldn't care. Why else are the only people being heard Amazon, UPS, etc.
Welcome to corportacracy
SWAMP
And at the end of the day remote id favors business and fucks over recreational pilots. Smh.
Stop voteing democrats and deepstate globalist
Ultralight aircraft don't even have to do this!!
Ultralights have a person on board. They also have a lot of air space restrictions basically can’t fly anywhere near a city
@@trevjsmith23 all aircraft, including drones, have airspace restrictions and they don't even have to be licensed. Also the fact they have a person on board would make it more important to have live tracking since a collision would kill the ultralight pilot and probably the other aircraft passengers as well so they are far more dangerous, yet they don't have near the requirements to fly. If you want to fly a ppg, just strap it on and go...
@@ionfreefly that's not quite accurate. I fly PPG and there are flight restrictions that we must adhere to inorder to legally fly under part 103.
That also entails not being allowed to fly with passengers. Most of the restrictions are nearly identical to drone restrictions.
@@WebberAerialImaging Identical to drones? I thought Part 103 didn't require any registration, training, licensing, identification numbers, tracking, or insurance.
@@millll111lllI Yep. Ultralights are special.
Russ thank you for taking the time to read over 300 pages and breaking this down for us. You explained it VERY well. I’m new to this hobby but not throwing in the towel.
This probably has very little to do (if any) with safety and more to do with paving the way for big corporations to control and use the airspace. I can just envision huge “NO FLY” zones owned by Amazon, Pizza Hut etc.....
You are a responsible articulate drone pilot and advocate and your voice needs to be heard. Keep up the good work !
Love how they wait till after Christmas to drop this on us
This was done on purpose.
@Bruce Yeckley AMA is well informed of this program
Very well stated. As a recreational flyer who builds FPV "drones" for freestyle and racing, this proposal, as written, is totally unacceptable. There are so many issues with it I would have to write a novel to encompass them all. So, as stated, I also urge everyone to let the FAA know that this is not OK. Why did they ignore the recommendation of the ARC, the DAC, and the ASTM working group? And if you fly FPV, check out the FPV Freedom Coalition, join the facebook group, and keep up to date on this NRPM.
Ya'll out here letting people make asinine rules and then following them. I'll not be paying attention to any of this crap, and flying sensibly.
Exactly!
The Man coming after you.
Its getting to the point where that's all you can do.
Choose to not comply.
Ignoring rules like an Lolbert doesn't help. You need to take the fight to them and be vocal if you want change.
So it's basically gun control for drones.
Please..... Guns aren't regulated this much.
That's already a thing which includes flame thrower and full auto gear!
Not even close, it is much worse then gun control. Guns are NOT required to be registered or licensed under federal law! Guns also do not have remote id that tells the government every time its been fired.
@@ryantoomey611 and no one has tried to cut their classmates' throats with the propellers in a school...
Ryan Toomey I agree the FAA is stupid but there’s a difference between a right and a privilege.
Great video summarizing their plans Russ! It's definitely worrisome for hobbyists. Can only assume they will eventually do the same up here in Canada. Interested to see how this all unfolds. Thanks for sharing!
Russ - my eyes glazed over when I received the proposal from the FAA the other day, and was hoping someone like you would simplify the content. Although, as a responsible drone pilot, following all the rules set forth, I am always interested in how far our government in the US gets into our lives. As someone concerned withy security and the well being of the public, I also worry about how much information my government is grabbing from my behavior and daily activities. I appreciate your input into this new proposal and will respond to the FAA with my comments. Like you, I live in a very rural area and see little need for the FAA to monitor my drone as I fly it primarily over our farm.
*NON COMPLIANCE, EVEN IN RURAL FARMING AREAS IS STILL NON COMPLIANCE. YOU GO TO JAIL EITHER WAY.*
The government gets into the lives of the poor and the middleclass in order to make future gains for the rich. It is like tax breaks for large corporations and the rich on the backs of creating less health care for the poor and making the middleclass and poor pay more taxes so that the rich, that pay no taxes, can have good roads and infrastructure to sell and expand their goods. This is the case here. a privileged few can now take over the skies for their own advantage. The FAA is an executive office. Your reps have no sway and neither will the folks without money for huge political donations.
@@jameshoffman1190 "Your reps have no sway" Not entirely true. Congress established the current exemption for hobby flying and forced in on the FAA. It is Congress that also allowed the FAA to proceed with removing or revisiting the hobby exemption.
@@HardlineFeminists God STFU already.
I warned my fellow RC' ers years ago if the FAA got involved in the hobby it would be a nightmare.
Should we tag every bird over 250 grams with an ID and send it off with an internet connection!
XDEEPTHOUGHT lmao! 🤣😂
I see an increase in people training birds and equipping them wit 4k cameras
yea i regestered my homing pigeon
Geese over 300 grams require a Rid.
Remind me again, just exactly how many planes or helicopters have been downed by a drone in the last year - worldwide?
I'll give you a clue, it's less than the one child that was killed by their pet dog this year in the UK, yet I never see anything about proposals to put beacons on cars, lorries, knives, guns, light aircraft, paramotors etc. All things that kill far more people a week than recreational drones have done in the history of mankind.
You are missing the point. It's not about being safe it's about clearing the air for corporation(like Amazon) to make billions on home delivery.
It's the commercial drone industry driving this.
Less than the 7 people killed in Hawaii today by a Helicopter...
@@rcnewsupdate9435 if that's the case... why not boycott them?
It's about the money boys. It's always have been.
No freedom, in the "land of the free".
If children had not been playing, building, flying and designing air craft for the last nearly 60 years, none of your over priced gear would exist.
Open source could fix the world if it wasn't for greed and fear mongering. Knowledge must be shared not harbored!
Still free to carry guns.. What a joke
Yeah....last I knew we are a American citizens...we have every right to use air space!!
'Land of the fee'...
Thank you for this video. I think you hit some of the more important points of interest for the recreational/enthusiast drone community. Your upbeat message is a good try, but I suspect common everyday citizens will be constructively (and with forethought) swept under the bus to make way for the commercial interests of Billionaires.
The day after Christmas and the FAA pumps out a first look at proposed rules for remote identification of drones. What a present. Like you, my first read of this found the following:
• All drones will eventually be required to include a remote id feature. The design envisioned has the remote id tech transmitting location information to the internet via the pilot's smartphone. Thus effectively banning any flight where there is no wifi/ no cell signal. This will require the pilot to pay for connectivity minutes.
• The remote id connectivity will go to a remote id vendor. Yes, a vendor. Meaning, the pilot will have to buy a subscription-based service to complete the remote id requirement.
• If no connection to the system can be made, flight will not be authorized (and the drone may not fly). This is one of those regulations dreamed up by an East Coast denizen who has never been west of East Orange and has no concept of gullies, ravines, real mountains, forest canopies, etc. [I have a house on the Oregon coast that has no cell signal as it lies between two capes.] It should be noted also much of the west is just f*cking remote. NO cell signal. NO wifi.
• Older drones having no remote id capabilities (every drone presently out there) will be confined to fly in a "FAA-recognized identification area." This is described as "... a defined geographic area where UAS without remote identification can operate." The proposed rule contains this scenario as further description:
“... Because his UAS does not have any remote identification capabilities, [the pilot] knows he may only operate it within an FAA-recognized identification area. [The pilot] is a member of the Arizona Amateur Modelers (AAM) organization, which has an FAA-recognized identification area near his home. He found information about AAM’s FAA-recognized identification area at the FAA website and has agreed to AAM’s terms and conditions for operating within the FAArecognized identification area...”
In other words, all of us who presently have drones would be only able to fly them in model airplane parks.
It is useful and probably cathartic for us to write in our comments to be included in the record. There will likely be a ton of litigation in the event anything like these rules are adopted and the comments included in the record will be critical to these appeals. But, let’s not fool ourselves either. The chances of common citizens saving a hobby that interferes with Billionarism is nil.
In addition to submitting commentary into the record, we should consider this to also having a political solution. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao (a Presidential Appointee and spouse of Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell) should be held accountable. We should demand that she stop this airspace grab by the Billionaire elites. This administration promised more freedom. Nevertheless, for the drone community it looks like all were getting is virtual air space cages and Big Brother.
Ed Ruttledge thank God Chao isn’t a billionaire elite.
@@PDXTundra : Yes - net worth is listed at a paltry $24 M.
Don’t worry they will change rules to include drones < 250 grams
Of course.With a fee to be placed on each one in an exploding market.Ka-ching.
doesn't matter. for eu region at least there's general rule if drone have a camera (or microphone) it is considered as data capture device, so it needs to be registered, doesn't matter if it's for personal or commercial use (you don't need to registered "drones" under 250g, which are/will be considered and labelled as toys, but this are not mavic minis etc). and i'm sure, if they want to add tracking (this is also already decided fro eu region as well), then this rule will be there, too.
No doubt. Since 249 grams has been done already, it will be redone; to death. The market will flood. They won't miss that cash cow. Another sad part is all the people who will buy one in the next 18 months to skirt the rules will only be grounded; or caged as was mentioned.
Dale Wilson government is excluded too!
I believe Japan has their limit at 200 grams.
I remember we had to get a CB license back in the day when everyone started using them. It's all about money. How can we make money off of people having fun?
"Do you guys have a license for those undies hanging on your backyard's airspace?" FFS..
Mine are generally under 249g. I hope the man doesn't come on taco Tuesday though.
:)
This is what I've been saying all along! The registration process just paved the way for future more restrictive rules and legislation! This is exactly why I'm resisting registering my drone here in the UK! There will be more and more regs and where you can fly legally will be reduced!
Is that a future for your hobby you want? I'd recommend opposing this as much as you can!
Here in the UK the CAA are introducing Electronic Conspicuitty for ALL drones, including existing ones, not just future models! This is where I have a huge issue! Modifying an existing drone to include somekind of electronic location beacon will void any warranty, will add weight, possibly make the drone unstable and will interfere with the safe operation of the drone!
This is NOT acceptable for me⚠️
Similar to what they did to firearm ownership 22 years ago.
I am damn certain not going to register, and have no legitimate need to bow to say agency never recognized by the Constitution.
The FAA are a creation outside the legal authority WE granted government.
The FAA does not have legislative, or any lawmaking powers, just like the FCC.
They can only make rules.
Rules are NOT law, and can not be enforced as a law.
These remotd ID rules are useless, and invite deeper intrusions into our lives.
How the hell does national security always come into play when government wants to begin expanding their criminal God powers over us?
Read the words, the national security crap is there to open the floodgates to armed patrols roaming around, looking for those terrorist drone pilots not bowing down.
This toilet paper is just the start of excessive abuse and control.
Why would a rural drone pilot need to register if all they are doing is flying above the trees shooting pictures and film?
The FAA claims dominance over OUR airspace? When did ownership transfer to them?
WE own our airspace, not the FAA!
Our drones do not fly high enough, fast enough, or long enough to ever be any kind of problem for general/commercial aviation, and I challenge anybody to prove the contrary!
This toilet paper ruling us a clear desire by big business to wipe out hobby flying, so commercial interests will never have to worry about our pesky drones accidentally hitting their delivery drones.
The ultimate goal is to DESTROY ALL HOBBY FLYING to allow business to take control.
There are no safety concerns, no national security concerns, and no flying concerns,, this is a ruling by the FAA to help LEGISLATE OUR FREEDOMS INTK THE TRASH CAN and do it with the criminal power of a government gun at our heads!
There are no safety concerns, and remote ID CAN NOT DO MAGIC!
THIS IS ALL ABOUT ABSOLUTE CONTROL, NOTHING LESS!
Remote ID is a FRAUD and a damn JOKE!
NOBODY COULD BE THAT STUPID, TO ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS CRAP WILL MAGICALLY MAKE FLYING SAFER,...IT IS IMPOSSIBLE!
Rules and laws do nothing, and never could. They are the key to MAKE MORE MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE, NOTHING MORE!
AS WITH ALL LAWS, IT ALL COMES DOWN TO MONEY.
WHO HAS IT, AND HOW CAN GOVERNMENT GET THEIR GREEDY HANDS ON IT!
@@AECRADIO1 Absolutely spot on! The moment people started registering their drones like lambs to the slaughter, was in the eyes of the authorities, an act of compliance and a way for them to gain a huge database of drone pilots IDs to implement future more restrictive legislation like we see here!
As far as I can see we have 2 options, comply or resist! There is only one option that secures the future of our hobby, if you want to continue flying your model aircraft, then stand up and let your authorities know these ridiculous restrictions are NOT an option! 😎👍
@@pdtech4524 Its all gone tits up in the UK though...not even half of what the CAA expected to register have registered..i think it was 180,000 drone operators were expected to register..they have had a quarter of that, and those that have registered have done it out of fright..i however wont be...no government or rule maker is going to tell me that i cant do something for leisure purposes...not a chance.
Me neither.FAA go to hell!!!

Beautiful saying...Obi Wan Kenobi?
Thanks, Russ, you are right. Just like gun laws, these new rules would only apply to guys like us the obey the law. The same guys that break the laws now would be breaking the laws then and we will be left with the same problems we have now. Drone manufacturers are going to take a big hit in the time leading up to the implementation of this new law. Why would I go out and buy a new drone when the wired drones are in the future. Many will quit but worse is that many won't even join. The trouble is that I believe and I think you do too that this law is really aimed at companies that will even be given parts of our air space and our flying area will be less and less. They would love to get rid of recreational drones all together and restrict 107 pilots so much that we will feel like it is just not worth it anymore and leave the drone space to the big guys.

I believe you indicated your name is Russ. Russ, I want to thank you for the time and effort that you put forth educating and providing knowledge to us about these new proposed drone regulations. It feels good to know that there are individuals out there like you doing their homework to help us drone lovers and flyers be informed. I watched the whole video and learned so much. I love drones and desire to fly mine everyday. Thank you sir!
Keith, you made one of only a few positive and thought through posts. Too many macho comments that probably don't have the ability to comment on the proposal in a manner that will be useful.

@51drones You did forget one important fact to that proposal. Under these proposed rules, your ID and info (pilot name, address, drone name, gps, height, camera view and operator location) will be visible to the general public, NOT just the FAA and emergency personal. It will be visable to THEN ENTIRE PUBLIC. the same PUBLIC that wants to get rid of us!
Not so. The proposal provides an option for anonymous ID assignment on a per flight basis. The government still has your data, but the general public does not see it.
@@gvc76 an "option" for an anonymous id on a "per flight basis". Which translates to it possible to be anonymous once in a while to the general public. But realistically, for general use it will be broadcast to the general public
I’m a recreational flyer and a rancher in South Dakota. 99% of the flying I do is over my own land and under 100 feet in the air. I know I’m in a small minority of drone owners but I wish the FAA would cut some slack for drones for ag use because flying out here over 150 miles from the nearest airport should be safe enough. I don’t have cell phone service but my drone couldn’t fly to the nearest town on one battery even if I had a fly away.
I wonder how many "FAA approved flight areas" exist, or will exist.
My guess is zero, and will continue to be.
I'm not signing up for anything. They gotta catch me first.
The ama will be the ONLY organization that has approved flight areas. That is the current setup as well. The kicker is that this proposal says that they won't be accepting any new requests for areas after 12 months...
Time to paint ye olde quads up like the General Lee and install a speaker that blasts Dixie.
@@taylormatson4599 I'm good on that for all the reasons.
@@wayneosman8971 Bud, Travis Pastrana doesn't bust out a sectional chart when he wants to make some low altitude flights with his motorcycle. If it's under a few hundred feet on approved property with safe and sane separation from meatbags and not for commercial purposes, we don't need the FAA sticking their nose in it.
@@wayneosman8971 usually I'd retort with a snide remark, as you seem to be talking down to me, but I'll let it pass.
Here's where I, and other hobbyists are coming from:
We don't, and aren't interested in buying drones that are weighed down with extras that do nothing for the flying we are doing. Most of us don't even crack 50 ft in height relative to the ground. GPS reporting, ATC contact, etc isn't needed when I can pop my googles off, and see where I'm flying.
Not only that, but a huge part of the hobby is the actual building, and tuning to get it "just right". That won't be a thing. You have to buy a DJI, for example, or a kit from an "FAA authorized company". Which, when a low tier DJI is 500+, I know they will skyrocket when these rules come in. I can have 3 builds for the price of one DJI.
Now (4 years, whatever), we can't do that. Not even on property that we "own". I'm not interested in flight maps when I'm flying in my yard, in a building, around trees, etc. I don't need them.
I also am super not interested in paying for a subscription to fly my quad. It costs enough to set up the way I want it, and I don't have the extra funds to throw away at the "privilege" to fly on my private property. It's not that I'm super broke, but it's not worth it to spend 100 a month, and I'm not flying everyday, and getting some kind of return on that investment.
"Get your 107, and job!!" Is the common retort. I don't have a problem getting my 107. I do have a problem getting a job. I don't know about anywhere else, but I need a degree in something like EE, digital photography, etc to even get considered, and that's assuming I can find somewhere that's hiring someone with zero on the books experience (and yes, I used to keep a very detailed flight log until I found out the hours I log weren't worth the paper it was written on) The days of "I can do it" are long gone, and I'm not going back into debt because I want to rip around. I'd love to get a job in the industry, but I'm not in a place where that's a thing.
Aircraft isn't for kids?? You'd be surprised. I flew my first plane at 14. Many kids fly real aircraft. Maybe not unassisted, but it happens. And I'm no child. Don't know why you think I am, but, like I said, I'm letting it pass to get a point across.
And the solo aircraft age is 16.
The AMA hates quadcopters. I've asked every club around me. It's either a hard no (one was super rude about it), or they don't bother. Not that it matters, because they are killing AMA fields as time goes on.
None of this is a problem for the vets wanting to fly in state parks, though. My grandfather could put his giant fixed wing up, and you'd never hear a complaint. I put my smaller drone up in a large municipal park where there's nobody around, and you couldn't hear it from 10 ft away, I get kicked out by the first park employee that drives by, and told never to come back.
So yes, when these rules come into effect, I'll pay the fine, or kindly ask they get off my property.
This is all about money. I get companies want to deliver by drone, and that's "great", but the people who made this a viable option are getting shut out by people who won't even be personally flying these craft. It's all going to be done by AI.
You want to jump into a pool 4 years from now?? Welcome to an airspace violation.
Thank you. This is a good summary.
It seems that they, FAA, will continue to move down this path regardless of what AMA and members say. The reasons a clearly obvious that they don’t want us interfering with the commercial drone delivery services.
The problem is that these commercial guys will need the regulation more than the hobbyists to protect themselves from each other in their own airspace.
Or it maybe that the FAA sees a new commerce stream with all these delivery service providers and they just want to create a system to excise their cut. They want to know what, who and where is flying so they can tax appropriately. This last point is the reality.
In any event we, the hobbyist are collateral damage.
It is not legislators! It is the executive branch...….Trump and company that is in charge of the FAA. Thank you for your campaign contributions Bezos et al and thank you for voting for him.
You do realize that when the FAA says Drones they don't just mean quads and multi-prop quads. They are referring to ANY unmanned aerial system, this includes any radio control craft that flies!!!!!!
yep say goodbye model airplanes
not only that it also includes control line. i would also go out on a limb and say dragon kites also since they have some modicum of control.
Most government abuses throughout history are done in the name of “safety.”
They are already on a mission to destroy the 2nd, Amendment and the rest will soon follow. In their Tyrannical new dystopia, they certainly don’t want anyone having the technology to counter-surveil the government goonsquad without them knowing about it.
ISR is a critical piece of intel in any modern military force. They know they can’t take all the guns, but they want to cripple the people’s ability to move and communicate as best as they can. There’s a war on Ham radio as well. They’re tearing down Ham repeater networks in California as we speak. It’s coming people.
Yet I can fly my ultralights without a care in the world! Just shows it's about the $$$$
So THIS is why they said rules are meant to be broken!
I believe you can voice your opinion all you want. Your opinion ultimately won't matter.
Very true. Why does the government even give us the option to voice are opinion if their not going to listen
Money talks
"your opinions matter".. looks at the right to repair sector. Apple money down! woohoo..

Dear FAA NPRM Team
I'm 40 years of age and have had a life long association with the hobby and spent untold hours learning aerodynamics and other related sciences from it. I have worked extensively in manufacturing of remote controlled airships to include camera and payload types, as well as advertising types ...many you may have seen flying indoors at major sporting & music events like the ducks and the LA kings, Beatles ,led zepplin and more.
As boy with the hobby and the wonderful freedom that flight gives the first project i built with my father was a rubber band powered plane with white glue and balsa wood,...weeks to build, flew that in the front yard like a million times.
Then on to gas powered planes on a string control handle, this got real hands on with dad ... flew that about 20 times till the motor wore out, did this in the local baseball diamond. no one ever got hurt.
Next was hand built 6' balsa and tissue rc glider, took months of paper plans, glue, balsa and measuring and cutting, I hand launch ed this as hard as could be at our local small school yard, flew that first r/c in circles there many times over 3-4 summers safely with friends. i was 7 when it was built
Then for my state report in 5th grade, i got the principle of my elementary school let me launch my hand built rocket in front of the whole school of 300 or so kids. after i demonstrated to him that i taught myself and understood all the aerodynamics involved... i picked Utah out of the hat, they tested rockets there in Utah...flew that rocket at the local grammar school from my home built launch pad ... principle smiled ....he did so safely....
next was my teens and my 40 size rc trainer glow engine plane.. safely flew that at a construction lot down the street on the weekends. I gained 4 channel flight experience and the appreciation for the inner workings of gas motors too.
At little older and i found some great memory's with friends & my uncles enjoying the hobby ,I built them a huge p-51 mustang .. it dropped flour bombs...really wowed a crowd. But, with this big guy also went AMA fees and i had to pay yearly due at a local field. everything already cost so much after all the expense we could only fly it a few times a year. after a while i begun to missed the progression of my aerodynamically learning ...
My professional life i got hired into big advertising, we did giant inflatables. I took over all helium flying stuff. I used my aerodynamic experience and sciences to make giant flying r/c airships. i made impacts on millions of peoples faces, planting a seed of love for aviation and all things that fly in our youth along the way. my list goes on, but all my wonder and freedom to explore sciences and technology keep bringing me back to this hobby.
Professionally we easily flew over the top of 30,000 seated people every flight, multiple times a night ,some times with 2 airships at the same time... and more than 1 pro team at the same time. exposing up to 100,000 people to r/c flight in one evening. we had not one problem or issue , not one person hurt ever. i did answer lots of happy questions from little boys and girls..
the current NPRM will flatten all the inroads young and economically challenged have at gaining these experiences i have been lucky enough to have.
1. carrying the cost penalty on our wallets and weight burden on our aircraft will destroy the hobby flat out smack down
2. the current trend of government normalizing the gathering of our data is not ok , furthermore having this data being actively made available to other agency's or the public with out expressed written consent i.e warrant is also a no go ,not ok at all move.
creating a uas airspace above the 400' mark this space would require commercial drones to have to carry the advanced tracking and advanced control.. (this class of airspace would be like the freeway for drones) with set departure ramps/and on ramps...
Thus allowing under 400' to remain as is with no changes for the hobby except that r/c hobbyist give way to commercial drones as well as manned aircraft such as helicopters already, but do this for commercial drones too.
please utilize phone apps that can just be turned on or off when the flight is done... hobby people are more than happy to let you know when they are flying with an app. but we do not want to go buy limited and or heavy/expensive gear and carry that around on our craft.
Our hobby has spawned so many of the latest advancements and i hope the FAA would want to encourage it to grow.
please FAA be a driving force in helping our country lead the world allowing us to experiment build and fly
Please FAA bring manufacturing back to the USA by ushering in a new era of love for aviation and aviation creation manufacturing and flying by rewarding the hobbyist
Stunting the growth of aviation and possibly growth of USA uas industry in this new era of micro aviation is possible with this NPRM
I think this is going to create a lot of "law breakers" who own drones right now (12/26/19).

Thank you for taking the time and understanding to compose this video. I have watched and listened to many other videos on this subject, but I feel to-date yours is a higher value to me and therefore watched it three times and forwarded the link to many aeromodellers across the UK on various social media platforms. In the Uk, recreational aeromodellers still don't see their aircraft as Drones, so such changes are hard to explain because they feel its not about them !
Fortunately I am over the pond in the UK. However, with the recent Drone Registration scheme now in place from November 2019 and a less radical Remote ID arriving in June July 2020 from EASA regulations that our CAA will adopt. I feel the next stage in the UK and across Europe through EASA, is to follow suite with the FAA. As a 40 year plus recreational aeromodeller and commercial PfCO Operator since early 2015. I can see and understand the Commertial Drone Development Opportunities that will bring millions to all countries across our world. However, what is disappointing and it saddens me to say. There will be losers and its the recreational aeromodellers that are not being properly considered and or given proportional representation. More so when all this technology came from recreational modellers in the first place. Good luck to you all and fly safe. Adrian.

Thanks Russ, informative as always. You bring up many good points. As a 107 certified pilot I do understand the need for something like this system. However I'm not a huge fan of being tracked every time my drones props start to spin. I also understand that the airspace from 0-400 feet ago has become very valuable to the commercial sector. Up until maybe ten years ago all the money to be made was at twenty thousand feet and above. I will definitely submit a comment with my concerns and opinions. Thank you for urging ALL others to do the same.
I completely agree to become part of the collective and SPEAK OUT. If anyone here is following the SEVERE CRACKDOWN of our rights needs to speak out on this. 5G isn't what it is being sold to us . It's more and more ability to watch us everywhere. I enjoy this hobby let's keep it going . Thank you Russ!

@Quattrings you obviously know little to nothing about socialism. Its an economic stance with the underlying goal of production to meet needs followed by desires rather than, production to make the most profit of the capitalist stance. If anything this is a capitalist oriented move, the ID providers will profit, big companies like amazon will profit. There is no concern about what we need or desire.
If you cant even accurately articulate an opponents position you will never convince them of anything. Your rhetoric serves only to bolster your opinion of your own positions correctness.
OK, here's a wild prediction: In 2 years, after many new light weight drones are developed and released, we will see all drones over 100 grams required to follow these new rulings.
Like you said, Russ, this is to progress the cargo drone industry. Great. But it can't be done at the expense of the rest of us.
I build my own drone and heli. If the FAA want me to put anything on one of my bird, they will have to do it themselves.
And pay for it themselves!

We are regulating something that needs no regulation. Where are all these drones? I've lived in three cities in the last year and I've seen one person with a drone. This is beyond insanity.
Last year was the first time I ever saw a drone "in the wild". Since then I have seen 3 additional drones "in the wild". One was at a public event doing photography, one was a commercial aerial shoot of a construction project, and one was in a park. The skies are not full of drones terrorizing the world, as the media and FAA would try to convince us. Quadcopters have killed exactly zero people. But that's not the point. The FAA is an agency of the corporations and is erecting high hurdles to recreational flight in order to de facto privatize the air space.

Yeah, I think the danger associated with hobbist drones is very low, the airs are not full of them.

Thanks Russ for your usual thorough review of pending drone rules. It’s clear that the commercial drone industry is driving this legislation and I can understand the need for remote identification. But what is really upsetting is the possibility that this information is publically available. It’s like saying that everyone in the country has right to monitor me if I go for a ride in my car. I would think the ACLU would be front and center opposed to this type of eavesdropping. Not optimistic about the future of hobbyist drone flying. I’ll be collecting a lot of video and photos over the next few years!
Submitted my comment to the FAA a few minutes ago! Please don't ignore this. There is power in numbers!!
What is sad is after the big business is done with drone delivery after they find its too expensive or too much trouble, all of the laws will stay on the books. Cause we all know what will happen when drone delivery becomes real. It will be hot for a while but then someone will claim injury or damages and thousands of others will follow suit trying for a big payday. Then amazon and everyone else will move on to the next big thing.
This times a thousand, my friend. These companies are nuts if they think they're just going to be flying drones autonomously with 30 pound loads over houses and cars etc. The public will call for THEM to be banned and sued in the stone age. And of course, like you said, the laws will be on the books and the hobby may take decades to recover.
Time to have sanctuary drone regions like they have for cities
2:45 ...no the proposed is not about "safety". Its about generating revenue...fines, license, air rights.
Thanks for the information. We've got some work to do. Let's not roll over and play dead on this issue. Make your voices heard loud and clear and be concise and to the point with your comments.
Yea... I'm not doing that
Give the government the middle finger.
Fluck em
It’s what I’m thinking. I’ll fly until I either get arrested or charged a serious amount of money. Other than that I’ll be flying minding my business
I appreciate you bringing simple-to-understand details to this "proposal".
One the you neglected to mention was that not only would your flight information be accessible by law enforcement, but also but the general public. This could put operators in danger from nefarious individuals.
It is of extreme importance to let drone operators know if this information!!!

Say good bye to park flying! As this proposal stands, you will be banned from flying Model aircraft in the park, this means planes, helicopters, quadcopters, etc unless it is an approved FAA site. Which as we all know, the ONLY sites that will get FAA approval is AMA.
It’s funny that you mentioned that the mass reaction from viewers was “That’s it, I’m selling my drones and quitting the hobby!”
I initially said the exact same thing, as I rarely get to fly as often as I’d like. But to now have to go through all the extra BS just for a short flight, and have it monitored by one or more sources... ridiculous!
And we can make all the rules we want, but those wishing to do wrong, or just be stupid, won't follow the rules anyway.

You are spot on in your analysis of this RID NPRM. This is a move my the big players in commercial drone sector to take over the airspace (too much money to be made here) and essentially squashing not only the recreational drone flyer, but I believe the small commercial drone service providers will also be forced out too. You are correct, if we as a collective community let our voices be heard during the feedback period in a cogent, well craft, well researched way - then we can affect changes to this onerous proposal and hopefully make it work.
Why does the FAA have to do this to people just flying a drone as a hobby? Its a huge invasion of drone pilot privacy. #FreeTheDrones!!

@@MitchellPetersoncustomdrone Yep.
I was wondering how Amazon, Google and the rest of the Commercial Drone Alliance was going to boot us out of the sky.

I think the offer for input from the FAA is more a formality but it’s worth a try.

Because people are flying them near airliners and airports constantly.
@El Mostrito It is illegal, it's called airspace.. To be honest I can see why they are doing it. Nobody was obeying the rules so they are trying to come up with another plan. For e.g. have a look at this: www.theverge.com/2018/12/20/18149819/london-gatwick-airport-drone-shutdown-reports

Well done Russ -thank you for helping to get the word out. I just posted a video on this as well.

Shasta Graff industry needs all of us going out of the WHOLE airspace... that’s all...
Shasta Graff I agree with you... they would have to kill me to steal my 4G disco...
Shasta Graff like I stated before wait for the heavy restrictions and out right bans on certain vtx’s and RC systems. Certainly uHF is on the chopping block that I can assure you at least for hobbyist . So once your TBS Crossfire or Frsky R9M gear burns out and it will nothing last anymore and unless you can fix or make your own UHF systems your are shit out of luck.
I have an understanding with someone that’s worked closely with these morons that that’s there plan eventually. Analog vtx’s and digital vtx’s will be heavily restricted on how much output they have and the end cap was 100mw on analog in U.S.
This is just the tip of the spear folks.
Any time the government comes up with a new law your wallet gets lighter and the closer you get to being homeless. 🤣🤣🤣
If you ask me this is mostly about all the money to be made on regulating hobbyists. Lots of fees to be collected, especially when you can charge per drone you own.
Thank you for this great Video
I am not living in the US so this 300 pages will not bother me at all.
BUT
Your Gouverment is turning this hobby (and i think 99 % of all drone owners see it as a hobby) into a incredible bunch of paperwork filled with regulations and rules you have to follow. For WHAT??? National Security ?? In my opinion its a matter of information they want. Who is flying where for how long on what altitude .
Nothing to hide?
Good but why they want to know?
You can buy a gun in walmart with less bureaugracy than flying a drone in your country
In future when u go out for flying a drone to get a nice shot - you will need two backpacks one for the drone and one for the paperwork which will allow u to get your drone in the air.
I hope that many of you good american people will stand up and fight for your freedom to fly a drone without filling your gouverment with all your private information which you have to pay The reputation of the US being a free country disapears day by day a little more.
The government is being pushed to do this by the free enterprise system that wants to use the airspace to maximize profit and at minimal cost.
Blaming the government is short sighted - and actually, not productive to the goal of trying to influence an outcome favorable to hobbyists.
It actually will have a ripple effect world-wide. DJI, Autel, etc will need to add more technology to future drones, a cost passed on to the consumer. So all drone prices will go up and even if they create 2 different models (US / Non-US, which is unlikely) production costs are raised based on having 2 production models. Just like California emission standards cause car companies to design technologies compliant to CA even though most are sold to the other 49 States.
This is about money, not security, maybe amazon security, but not national, it’s about money and not having hobbyist drones in the way of corporate plans. This is the way it works, corporations ran by greedy evil people who run everything , anyone doubting that isn’t paying attention, governments are nothing but corporate pawns, if people would wake up and stop worrying about things like who’s left and who’s right and come together then maybe we would stand a chance, I doubt that ever happens though....
Don't worry, the rest of the world will probably follow.
The US Government creates new law as if it were an industrial product everyone needs. NOBODY in the US wants this law, but our government through the slow and quiet infiltration of all aspects of life has become the personification of the new 4th Reich. It's never too late to secure your future by joining them. You see how this works?
I'm not selling my drones, but won't be buying anything new for a couple years.
ALL DRONES WILL BE TAXED, TAXED, AND TAXED. “Designated Area” = “Anywhere outside the USSA”
BTW - Thank You for reading all that, and explaining it to us.
Revolution is not in the Air
I like USSA comrade!
I video (camera, phone, drone) and blog my cycling and backpacking travels so my friends and family can keep track of me without me having to contact them individually.
I can be be gone for weeks & months at a time. I’m not going to stop videoing because of government.
As I need new equipment (drone) I will probably make my own and fly under “the radar”. I’m usually in remote places with no one around for a hundred miles.
We dont care
6 String Terror - Who’s “We”? You got a mouse in your pocket?
We need congress to only allow faa regulation above 400’ (except airports etc).
After all no planes should be that low already.
Like we need the no-nothing Congress getting involved. They still use AOL and MySpace and think their internet comes through their phone line..
Russ, thank you for all your updates and your excellent balanced prospective on this new FAA proposal. Time for all of us to educate ourselves and then provide our respectable comments on the FAA website, remembering to be civil and concise is the most important. Again, my thanks!
Register, restrict, ban. Sound familiar? The FAA needs to institute a buy-back program.
olsonspeed yah tell me about it. In 4 years I can do anything with my Mavic Pro
Only if you have more than 10 propellers..............
@@1pcmedicGood one!
It always comes down to money. Do they really appreciate think terrorist will follow these rules. It won’t be long before you have to register your toilet paper usage.
I knew something like this was coming. Just ordered my Mavic mini, only a matter of time before they target the sub 250 gram drones though.
More government overreacting And you can bet Jeff Bezos has his hands in this.
It just out of work lawyers trying to make BMW car payments.
Give all this about 3 years and it will like the CB radio licenses of the 60's.
Bezos has a seat in the Pentagon. You better believe he is pulling favors
@@13J460 I believe that we have more things to worry about than keeping track of quad copters.
Russia and other countries are shutting down inbound and outbound internet to see if they can survive an attack.
Here we are bickering over quad copter flights. We are sitting ducks and open for attack!
Absolutely
I should become a government. Then none of these rules would apply.
Well, you'd have to fight the current one for this land. EDIT and air...
You should go prance around in your panties "snowy owl"
You can join Sovereign Citizen group. Got all the paper in a go kit an everything! Even call yohself some other name if’n you want too!
Gary Bowen I have looked at that nomenclature since the early eighties. What I found after tons of research is that one word in a one federal law makes citizens subject to to government. That word is residency. So I am enjoying calling myself a bum, vagrant and homeless. I have been known to ask statues for money just to practice rejection. Lol.
I enjoyed the above responses, even though they missed the satire of my comment. On the other hand you get it. We should be conducting ourselves as if we the people have the power to declare independence. Thanks Gary.
Snowy Owl I love satire. I love and enjoy Snarky. Dean Marin and the gang taught me real well growing up.
Yet another freedom being taken in the name of safety. What a crock.
Because people with ill intent famously are sticklers for following bureaucratic rules... I'm really curious how this will enhance national security or safety?
Not about security or safety.
MONEY
There use to be a law section 336 that protected model aviation from big brother. Amazon, Google, and UPS to name a few got that law repealed by throwing millions at the FAA with their lobbyist. They want the hobbyist to go away so the skies are clear up to 400 foot for commercial drone delivery.
