Step by step walk the thousand mile road |
Registration is the first step toward confiscation! Well, they'll get my drone when they pry it from my cold dead fingers. And I don't own one!

The regulation requires the pilot to register, not each drone. Each drone is supposed to be marked with the pilot's registration number. _______________________________ The artist formerly known as AllenInWV | |||

and I still agree that the FAA was over-reaching when it did that I am pissed that every time there is a dot in the sky its a near miss from a drone the FAA needed to focus on what it already has on its plate and not give in to mission creep a good ruling on the part of the court that which governs least governs best [B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||

When Obama's regulatory people got something in their sights, such trivia as following existing law - even Obama-era law - didn't trouble them much. After all, who was going to stop them? The Keystone Kops Kongress or the activist bench? ubi non accusator ibi non iudex | |||

It's all fun and games until one of these remotely piloted aircraft fly into the engine of a passenger airliner on final. | |||

It's always been illegal to fly model aircraft near an airport. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | |||

The drone control arguments aren't that different from the gun control arguments. It's the pilot not the drone. that's my take. ---------------------- Let's Go Brandon! | |||

It falls back to don't be a dumbass with them. That said, they were going to be regulated at some point unfortunately and I thought the FAA regs were fair especially not having to register each drone. This opens the door to biting the drone community in the rear (Canada) "Pickin' stones and pullin' teats is a hard way to make a living. But, sure as God's got sandals, it beats fightin' dudes with treasure trails." "We've been tricked, we've been backstabbed, and we've been quite possibly, bamboozled." | |||

Indeed. It's a money and power grab hiding behind FUD and "reasonable restrictions". | |||

If it had covered only drones, that would have been one thing but in the infinite wisdom of the FAA, they included anything that flies by radio control. As one of the hundreds of thousands of R/C pilot hobbyists, I found this to be a cop out on the part of the FAA who is seemingly unable to digest the difference in those flying vehicles that are solely line of sight and operated purely for recreational purposes (airplanes, Helicopters). I have been flying radio control for 35 years now without any incident with a full size aircraft nor have I seen or heard of such an incident. The real problem the FAA is facing is that anyone can go and buy a ready to fly drone and fly it right away. Drones don't require any real proficiency to fly them. | |||

It was a typical knee-jerk FAA reaction to a media induced hysteria that swarms of drones were standing ready to knock unsuspecting airliners from the sky at a frenzied pace. I understand the registering of commercial drones to regulate flying around/above people and property but there's no need for hobby drone or r/c aircraft registration.
