Why you don't fly over other people's homes...

[Donnie Frank]

I didn't see ant planes or helicopters at risk in this video, but I didn't watch the whole 5 minutes of nothing, please point out the time maker where you saw at risk aircraft, thanks

Don't confuse readers with facts. There are far too many "what if" arguments that could be cited....<rolling eyes>.....

So no actual aircraft in the video then? Just more whiny what iffers? Thought so

That seems to be the case.

Anyone interested in co producing a movie? Drone Madness?
War of the drones? Godzilla vs. the Drone, Attack of the fifty foot drone, Drone 2077, so many apocalyptic drone movies to be made for the paranoid drone bunch.

Jason keeps trying to get higher and higher. He seems to be maxing out at 500 meters (1,500'). He is operating in downtown Jacksonville and also very near a very strange airport, Reynolds field. Reynolds field is probably a black ops airport. It is one of the few places in Florida where you have full access to shipping, railroads and air. If you use google earth to look at Reynolds you will find thousands of identical white vehicles neatly parked on three of the four large runways at Reynolds. Looks like mostly white vans.

The FAA doesn't regulate fireworks, but does regulate UAVs. Flying over private homes is wrong. Drones drop from the sky, unannounced and injure people. Thus the rules.
Drone filming 5k in Quebec falls out of the sky and hits woman in head

So do planes

Wasn't trying to, Mr. Armbrust. That is a moderator privilege.

It's not "good for you".......................... it's "responsible"

If the FAA wanted to accomplish anything last year, they should have started with this simple rule ....................

any persons flying a uav heavier than 2 lbs (outside of their OWN private property) must register and show proof of at least $250k liability Insurance, and.........
give local police the authority to ask for proof of both, (not tell folks where they can fly, but ask for registration and ins or issue citation).

That is very simple (start) and at least holds flyers accountable, whether they claim "hobbyist" or not).

I did not post in this thread to piss you off licensed pilot, it is very clear that You follow the rules, but you are always over-the-top on everyone who is Not you.

Of course we will eventually have accidents, just like death by lawnmower, meteorite, hippo, lightning strike. Any human on the planet is at some risk. The odds of you being killed by a swarm of bees is much higher than death by drone. Let's be reasonable here please.
Registration
Insurance
Fly Responsibly

If you drive your car like an idiot, operate your lawnmower like an idiot, or fly your drone like an idiot, you will be, and should be, charged with "Reckless Endangerment"

My post is about the 'hobbyist in the USA", (the commercial guys like myself should have these two things, PLUS most of the other stuff posted in other threads about 333 and 107).

Goodnight Elizabeth

Your suggestion of what the FAA should have implemented last year is a logical one. I wish the same was in affect for gun ownership.

Just curious... Why do you feel it necessary to bring politics into this forum?

 

[Donnie Frank]

So do planes

And helicopters....almost monthly. And they weigh 2 tons. Nobody seems to care about that, though. It's the 3 lb. drone that is "dangerous." Morons.

The troll M.O. doesn't allow them to walk away or engage logical arguments.

I suggest if you are going to try to bring gun ownership into this that you become a little better informed first
