I would think that the problem would lay with the switch. Not doubt it can create a slow speed mode, but equally a flick of the switch would invalidate the classification. The Phantoms that I have are not really designed to minimise injury on contact with people. I do not have prop guards built in for example and the material f which it is constructed can shatter and cause sharp edges to be formed when coming into contact with hard surfaces like a skull.
My impressions from reading the regulations are that the aircraft will need to be specially built to meet the new criteria rather than attempting retro fitting existing models. For now we will still have to continue to fly via the drone code.
I would have thought the switch would be a setting in the Go Fly App the position of which would be recorded as part of the flight data. In the event of an incident, the operator could show compliance by viewing the log. |
