Feds Make Major Moves To Relax Restrictions On Use Of Drones

Your title is a little bit misleading yes? Care to elaborate a bit?

Civil twilight and flying over people (crowd) could be a thing in the pass once the proposed new rule passes.

Civil twilight and flying over people (crowd) could be a thing in the pass once the proposed new rule passes.

"The Department of Transportation made three major announcements Monday: it proposed regulations to allow drone operators to fly over people as well as at night WITHOUT a waiver or an exemption; "
Not sure what you mean...

 

[R.P..R]

That’s exactly, what it means. No waiver if it passes.

 

[Grumpy]

Like it said. It's just a proposal. If they are going to start asking John Q Public their take on drones it might be detrimental to us drone pilots. You know how paranoid the public is of drones.

 

[MapMaker53]

Sure. No waivers IF you have the required equipment, such as caged rotors or other requirements. Don't think our current models will qualify for any of this, but probably future designs.

 

[AviationBroker]

I interpreted this as a good thing. Meaning pilots will be able to do these things without having to apply for a waiver. How would this be bad?

You can read the draft proposal yourself: https://www.faa.gov/uas/programs_pa..._NPRM_Operations_of_Small_UAS_Over_People.pdf

Waivers would still be issued for those operations that don't fit into the proposed changes to the rules.

The draft is a dry read, but this is our business so everyone who would benefit from utilizing these proposals please read it all. It’s far from a “just go fly over people “ rule change. Much has to be done on the manufacturing side alone. I wouldn’t expect any new opportunities for at least a year or more. Probably more.

Night time would be good for those of us flying public safety.....as well as over people during SAR ops, traffic accidents, etc.

Get your COA and have those abilities built into it. If you already have your COA and didn't get those built into it you can utilize the SGI at the time of an incident to get a temporary authorization for those actions. It's very quick and relatively painless if you already have your ducks in a row.

Aware of the SGI. Posted procedures a while back.

Read through the draft regs yesterday. I don’t have a drone that fits flying over people. Gonna see a new type of drone if those regs come out.

Have specifics draft regs on the drone technical aspects for 107.39 published? Besides the above article?

Thanks. Useful for a balloon waiver and general guidance.

I believe one class will be as easy as caged props, available for the Mavic Pro now and I bet for a lot more craft soon.

Nothing wrong with flights over people. How else can I feed myself!
