You are incorrect, one small community that a friend of mine lives in had over 330 REPORTED auto/deer incidents, Two years ago one was fatal. That was in Pennsylvania. Back to drones, in my humble opinion there is and will continue to be a all out war against drones that will continue to grow.

Stop,stop, what I’m saying is people will use a excuse if they can to save their butt. In western New York deer are killed all the time being hit by cars, and there are many accidents trying to avoid them. Avoiding a deer, no violation and no insurance increase. Tell the police you were texting...

How about this situation,Your driving down the road and you are talking on your cellphone. The other person tells you something so funny you lose control of the car and crash into a tree. When the police arrive they ask you “ what happened”. “Well I was talking on the phone lost control of the...

Instructing hovering in a helicopter and you hit a tree. You or the student made a mistake and YOU are completely responsible. No ands if’s but’s about it. Sound familiar? It’s on this forum but if a drone “ appeared or suddenly appeared something like that “is put into the equation we have a...

As I said before “A drone caused it syndrome “ is coming. IT is the perfect CYA protection. Run out of fuel...a drone took it. Get lost, a drone was using the GPS signal. Land on the wrong runway, a drone was on the other one. Crash the airplane because of incompetence or just plain stupidity...

These are fixed wing twin engine turbine aircraft, they have high lift wing devices, radio altimeters so they can go very slow and just feet above the water, so radar is not a factor and being as quiet as they are detecting them is very difficult.

Ocean liners for one they catch them dumping toilets before docking, drugs, any type of smuggling into the country. The CG is out there a lot more than you might think. They often fly, how can I say this, at night around certain countries south of us to intercept human and other goods being...

My contention is doing this on my property, I didn’t emphasize that and I should have because it does make a difference of course. But now it has been shelved in that instance but we will see it again.

Sorry, my cat did it again, powered by 2 PT-6 turbines but they were muffled somehow and the propellers he said were in his words “ different “I’m sure he wasn’t supposed to say to much but his stories were interesting.

I personally didn’t see or hear it but a fellow I know flew it several years ago for the CG and said it was unbelievable. All black for night operations, and his word was “ silent”

The proposals have been tabled by council over who has authority over the drones

I called a Pilot/ lawyer I know about another subject. His quasi lawyer/ Pilot opinion about this is. The drone is certified and licensed by the FAA not local government,it’s ground and air operations are controlled by the FAA. He said there a lot of if’s and but’s and new regulations to come so...

You need to see what the Coast Guard has.

I question if the city has the authority to control “air space”, yes they can prohibit ground operations but the sky’s are I believe are controlled by the federal government via the FAA. If locals could do this half the airports in the country would be closed at some time because some local...
