I have only flown well below 100 feet AGL since LAANC was introduced and most flights with micro quads and less than 25 feet AGL my only fixed wing flights have been UMX Planes only and also far less than 100 feet AGL...... Not sure if I will be flying larger fixed wing aircraft in the future even tho I do so on private land . The FAA's UAS rules and system needs input from actual hobbyists who fly all the time, and not just some organizations who claim to have information......take the FPV rules , great to have a spotter on public lands, and or commercial flights near people and possible altitudes that may interfere with manned aircraft , but individuals who fly FPV on private lands and at altitudes less than 100 feet AGL and where no people are the need of a spotter is useless, especially sub 250 gram aircraft being used , just one such issue that needs addressed. And the FAA has not addressed the private land issues that will soon arise when commercial delivery services start using drones to do just that . There are some entities who are trying to work out such issues as it is indeed a huge upcoming problem. Plus the FAA also has not addressed the fact land owners still own the airspace above their lands according to the SCOTUS and many cases they have already adjudicated over the years . And hobbyists etc have that right over their own lands. the "Sky-Highway" traffic system is great, however over public lands and cities etc is one thing , doing so over private lands is something else and still not addressed . Hope they allow actual hobbyists and general public etc to have a voice or else I foresee some future law suits and law and rule changes the FAA will not enjoy i am sure
Very informative video, to how we are moving forward with technology to sharing airspace safely.
