Drone Manufacturers Alliance Responds to Canada’s “Sudden” Drone Laws Thats a GOOD NEWS )
The Drone Manufacturers Alliance, an organization representing manufacturers of most recreational drones produced, said that they believe the new rules “will provide only a negligible increase in safety while sharply curtailing the ability of Canadians to explore, photograph their country, and teach their children about science and technology. ”
Drone pilots and drone communities need to wake up and start doing something about these draconian rules and regs,
The reason these rules are being brought in unopposed is the drone communities have been backwards in coming forwards, drone communities need to put their case forward spelling out the rules that will keep general public and aviation safe, and what they propose to do about insuring that as a community , they can operate with safety and proper concern for all groups who are concerned with safety privacy and any other issues they might have.
I think some sort of license testing should be brought forward by drone hobbyists and enthusiasts to show they are capable of flying safe at reasonable heights and distances, if you don't want to bother with sitting a test or have no need for it, then you can fly under the strict rules set out.
But I can't see this happening unless drone communities take the initiative set out proposed rules that they think are fair for qualified pilots, and come to the table with a proper safety programme set out by them and how they would like this implemented. |
