Maybe our honorable minister could take some time to consider the following
Whose drone is that? DJI unveils UAV traffic tracking system
Before making this so called fair law a reality.
As it is the government might as well ban drones all together .
The proposed law puts drones that are up to 1kg in virtually non dangerous category claiming that majority of hobby users fall under this category , not true.
A drone that weights just 200gr more is considered more dangerous .Thats 200 gr more which is nothing realy .Lots folks flying with drones that weight 1.2kg. To compare that to a 35kg drone is a huge difference. What the hell are they thinking .
Insurance and tests give me a break , stop milking more money from Canadian tax payers .
One single comfirmed collision with a helicopter which was flying under 400ft and drone operator flying within FAA regs.
The rest ballons , paper bags , birds ?
Go after those idiots flying within 5km of airports.
Give me a space to fly . RC model fields do not welcome drones and besides they are few and far between.
Cars and trucks have caused much more mayhem.
Lets regulate base balls or playing hockey on the street after all a ball or puck can hit something or someone.
I don't mind the 5km from airport
I don't mind 90m height max
I don't mind the keep within eyesight
I don't mind staying away from people although 70m is too much.
Not in cloulds ok with that makes sense.
Not at night why not if the drone is equiped with lights that can be seen by possible aircraft I don't see the issue. Due to the lights I can actualy see it better than during day time .
If i want to play in my back yard within the above rules that should be my problem.
The rest of proposed regulation is pure rubish. Not that I have disregard for safety but I have been in the aircraft maintnance business for almost 40 years I know full well aircraft safety.Please drop the proposed draconian rules.
I just want to enjoy my hobby safely without having to keep looking over my shoulder.
