I see it as not a bad thing in some respects. It makes Joe public aware that there are regulations in place, and they are being policed. The CAA in UK are positively encouraging people to fly, but out in the country. Or at least be very aware of your surroundings, safety and privacy if flying closer to a built up area.
This is an interesting one to watch on BBC iPlayer for those living in the UK:- http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/p04jyth3/drones-wtf
At 2:40 there is an interview with a CAA representative. Very positive, stick to drone code, common sense, don't do anything stupid, and enjoy flying..............No mentions at all of airspace classifications etc, it 'would seem' that by virtue of the fact that it's below 400 feet, within sight etc (basically classified as a model aircraft) then generally there won't be any problems. There is also mention made of potential change to include registration. |
