    Bad wording for future drone laws!

    Very bad wording from the Tort Law Relating to Drones Act Drafting Committee if this made its way to the final draft then there will be no cameras in the sky at all. I advise everyone to keep an eye on this committee as this is not the first mistake they have put to paper and their work will...

    End of hobby flying in USA?

    This committee is going to be the death of hobby flying if not stopped. Where is the AMA at this table? I don't really fly under 336 since getting my 107 but I would like to think that 336 will not be killed off for hobbyist in the future. If you are a hobby flyer, I would be very concerned, and...

    This is why we can't have nice things - Drone nearly hits passenger plane landing in New Zealand

    I was just reading the latest article regarding a near miss of a drone with a commercial airliner. THIS IS WHY WE CANT HAVE NICE THINGS. It's because of the people who think that it's cool to fly drones within 5 meters of an aircraft. Drone operators should have some common sense, no? This is...

    Costa Rica New Law?

    HI Everyone - I understand there are some threads on the site on this, however, none really have answered a couple of questions I have (now that the law has officially started). The www.dgac.go.cr site is in Spanish and unfortunately I took Latin in high school so I'm a little out of luck in...

    Political Action

    Guys, Just tonight I heard on Fox News XM some very disturbing news. The FAA is looking at letting local governments place restrictions on flights below 200 feet. First responders have the ability to disable drones and more and more states are allowing use of the technology. A government...

    Proposed US Federal Reg? Give Cities added power up to 200 ft AGL?

    Please tell me I am reading this incorrectly, if you know the facts... One of our greatest heroes in helping to remove despotic and nonsensical drone regulations is Brenden Schulman, right? He worked on - and won - a couple of landmark cases when things were just getting started, and now he...

    Worth Owning a Drone in California

    Hey Guys, I am thinking about picking up a Mavic Pro soon but wondering if it's truly worth it given all the restrictions flying around the Bay Area and other California areas. The rules seem to be quite confusing. Would love if anyone had some more details on this. I would love to pack up the...

The lady at the booth said I could no longer fly my phantom there because the army of engineering Corp had a meeting and denied drone usage there. I have my part 107. It's actually a man made dam. So my question is can they stop me by law....I...
