that is 100% what should happen. I think that DJI has taken a ton of responsibility in their own hands in order to facilitate the brand new pilots and the possibilities of things that could happen if the drone goes out of control and accidentally flies into the path of a plane or some other similar situation that may cause serious harm. But you are definitely correct in the fact that this should not be a mass punishment type situation. This falls in line with what most governmental regulations do, they punish or restrict the masses due to the nature or fault of the few. Again going back to my first posting, if you are in beginner mode, you are only able to go 100 FT from your controller, and NO FLY ZONE restrictions should not even be a consideration. 100 FT is way below what any aircraft is going to travel unless you are right on a runway, and you shouldn't be flying there anyway.
Believe me, I live closer to DC and feel your pain, but consider 100ft is high enough to carry a grenade out of guard sight across the Whitehouse fence.
Of course, any determined individual could force the drone into ATTI mode, build their own drone, etc., but this does remove an easy way to inflict harm from less-capable evil-doers, and thus presents a smaller attack surface on DJI from those who would outlaw drones altogether. |
