That whole registration thing really put an end to drunk driving didn't it? How about hit and runs? Using cars for a getaway in robberies? Speeding? Illegal lanes changes? Etc... etc....

I fly safe because I spent 1300 on a flying machine, a number won't change any behavior.

A. That would depend on how the registration number is affixed B. Assuming the "issue" is a basic, fall out of the sky crash. If the issue is impact with a jet engine or prop of a Cessna, it's a different story.

Since they don't collect the serial number of the drone, how is that possible or are you assuming the 'reg number' stays intact with the debris?

What's the percentage of those videos done in the US? There are videos of lots of things being used in a manner not intended, is your solution to regulate everything? At some point, it has to stop and some people have chosen this, to be that point for them.

I'd like to be sure the website is secure and doesn't get hacked... like all gov't websites do. Afterall, they'll have credit card numbers in this database, not just health information. I'll wait.

nah, just paranoia and irrational fear mongering.

I was referring to having RTH on the Cessna. You know, a new regulation requiring all Cessna's to be retrofitted with a costly upgrade to comply and stay legal... if some regulations are good, more is better right?

Maybe there should be? :D

Right. Those over worked, local guys that have 20,000 local laws to uphold are going to be looking to enforce an FAA regulation. When was the last time you heard of someone getting a ticket for not using a turn signal?

Birds.

If it was, they wouldn't fly into the sides of buildings all the time... or into my sliding door on the back of house.

Neither of which is permitted under the rules.... just for the record. What I'm interested in, is if VLOS is still a requirement, how is Amazon going to deliver packages? Wouldn't it be just as easy to take it to the house if you can only go to the limit of unaided VLOS?

Or another Snowden, internal contractor that just decides the database should be public and takes it.

I kept mine as a reminder of the once cheap, part time hobby that became 'unfun', overly expensive and time consuming for compliance.
