I’ve been trying to read my way through this FAA business, in an attempt to actually understand what rules and regulations would be required to fly the airplanes that I specifically enjoy flying. Im about two thirds of the way through and here are a few of my initial knee jerk reactions and questions/ thoughts.
1. Would these rules apply to powered free flight aircraft?
2. If operating as a standard remote identification uas, do any of the altitude or range limitations apply?
3. I know the main concern for operation as a standard remote identification uas is the cost obligation and weight of additional equipment. My thought, I wonder if the equipment could be based off of the existing hardware already available through cellular providers that you can use as a tracking device for pets? They are fairly small and light, and they are relatively inexpensive ($5.00mo).
Just brainstorming here. I hate to say it but I think this stuff is going to be inevitable, it will be interesting to see how we as a community can adapt. I hope it’s not so restrictive as to completely kill the hobby.
