Sorta off topic but years ago I warned the drone community in Europe (and even in the UK although this specific instance does not apply) to get control of your government and the rules else you'll eventually pay later for letting them run loose. You think this is bad, wait until what is coming later! Now is the time to get involved and not hammer on DJI for obeying what they perceive to be the laws but to take back control from your government who are dreaming up these stupid laws that not only don't make sense because they are unclear but also don't enhance safety at all.
I get it, you are not free in your country like we are here in America but you have to at least fight back else you deserve the government you get. I understand because it's hard enough to motivate the American drone community to push back against the FAA and besides, flying a drone is not a right, it's a privilege. But we are going down the wrong path in the wrong direction and things are about to get worse before they get better. Now is the time to get involved because everyone starts to believe that drones are the enemy and the hobby is destroyed.
We did in the uk, we all had our say and hence the C classes of drone were removed so as not to follow the EU regs, and the legacy drone rules extended to Jan 26, the only problem there is, the CAA are now looking at the whole range of drone regs including sub 250g.
I do not know if the EASA did the same and gave the drone pilots a voice or not, but you say to get control of our governments, thats a joke, since when do we really have a say, what we want and what they do are 2 different things, i see you managed that just fine with your FAA, ah, nope, you failed too what with the RID an all that. Whilst the EASA and CAA are rather strict, the FAA are not far behind, there isn't much more you guys can do that we cannot. I mean, you have the 400ft and VLOS limits too. |
