Drone registration
Interesting story, thanks for the link as I'll be passing it along to the drone group I belong to...
I'm sure any proposal by the UN will get close scrutiny and massive push back in the US. That said, I can understand the manufacturers concerns. Also of note is some manufacturers, such as leader DJI (which built my Mavic Pro) already build a number or restrictions and geo fencing into the units software to minimize illegal and unsafe flying, along with recoverable track data available to law enforcement with a warrant. I feel drones flown here over .55 lbs should be registered with the FAA, even though curently voluntary, and was the first thing I did with mine after getting it fully insured. I also would suggest that when registration becomes mandatory again (only a matter of time) that, like regular aircraft, the registration numbers are available to the public in a searchable on line data base. This would make lost drone incidents easier to contact the owner, whether privately or through law enforcement. Additionally, it would make it easier for the appropriate agency to ensure the pilot is operating his craft legally and ethically. |
