... laws are normally made by common consent in a democracy. But there are a number of ways the process can be manipulated for singular gain. I'm not into conspiracy theories as they tend to not hold up to scrutiny - but that does not preclude people with vested interests playing that card, and, let us say with direct access to the legislators having things bent to their wants. I think the 'wild west' era of recreational drone flying is rapidly coming to an end - regulation is becoming more punitive in nature when compared to any other recreational activity. The next phase will be the introduction of tightly controlled airspace with the deployment of systems like the one being developed by NASA https://utm.arc.nasa.gov/index.shtml.
I’m not so sure that’s correct, there are so many more drones out ther, the growth is still exponentially growing , there is huge commercial growth SAR growth, and without recreational growth you won’t have the latter.
I live in Ireland in the last 12 months we have seen growth in recreational drones up 39%, and drone flying laws are basically the same as they were 4 years ago and this is the same for UK and most of Europe, in fact new drone laws rules from EASA will open up more lenient drone laws for most of Europe, really where have you seen this decline ? |
