As a active pilot I agree to an extent. I often approach operators flying drones( you are not a pilot flying a drone sorry that's just the truth) who don't know a god **** thing about the airspace they are flying in or what's around them. Honestly a pilot who was flying at almost 2000ft was...
I can say with almost certainty That you have never dodged a drone while in flight. This is becoming a weekly occurrence. It's not a matter of new regulations. It's the fact that a drone operator is already subject to applicable FAR's. The vast majority of operators I run into don't seem to...
You have people flying drones that don't understand airspace. Or requirements for VFR flight. I have found few drone operators who even know what VFR is and that they are committing a federal offense by flying when conditions don't meet VFR flight. If you don't know those two concepts you have...
Don't expect people in the industry to show you an once of mercy. Pretty much half the pilots I know have turned in ignorant drone operators to the local FSDO. There never has been tolerance in this industry for ignorant people. Don't expect it to start now. Our exellent saftey record was paved...
You really have no business in aviation. There is no room for people who don't follow the rules. Find a new hobby. This is exactly why AOPA is lobbying to have drones not flown by licensed pilots restricted to RC hobby fields. I can't agree more. Until you have zero tolerance for people who...
Flying is not driving. As a professional aviator I can assure you there is no room and zero tolerance for people who don't know and follow the rules every time all time. The sky is our place of business and lives depend on it. If you don't know the applicable FAR's and know the airspace you're...
Two things. No it's a crime. You are in a form of controlled airspace. And you can not use your drone for hire unless you're a licensed pilot. You really shouldn't be thinking that way. There is zero room in aviation for people who don't follow the rules to the letter
