They can force drone makers to put a forced firmware update in place meaning you couldn't physically move beyond the fixed limits without hacking firmware. I'm sure people will find ways around this but for the majority it would put a quick end to their flights. Sent from my iPhone using...

They can bring this sort of thing in pretty quickly if they want to. Remember this has been in planning for a year or so now. The implementation process has all be planned already Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't even get me started on that one. After being hit by a driver two weeks ago, going to see if they were OK only to find they run off on foot and abandoned their car. People need cars for work so they are forced to pay all the above. Forced licensing would definitely weed out a lot of...

No different to obtaining driving license and owning/running a car. Yes it's not cheap but neither is a £1500 drone. That price would keep a lot of the idiots away that's for sure Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The licensing IS accessible to all, isn't it? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I do wonder if this is their way of pushing. Ore people to be licensed as pretty much all of this has no bearing on licensed pilots. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Also the problem with parachutes it that thy give no control over where the UAS can land. If you are 300m away and require the use of the parachute, what is to stop things dropping onto a car doing 60 on a quiet country road Not disagreeing that these measures wouldn't mitigate a lot of...

That's a pretty weakly written section. I'm pretty sure they could throw a lot of specs in there once published. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Doesn't section 3 requires redundancy of EVERY system though? Two compass, rotor redundancy, and so on. ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It could be a sad day for non licensed drone owners. Once the likes of DJI are forced to make their owners upgrade firmwares to lock limits it will only be a matter of time until firmware hacks are put in place. This could spell problems on its own though and issues arising could be very...

Wow.

Being another UK P3 flyer. So far I've been very lucky. Having started a photography Facebook page. And getting 100k views in a week, I'm out a lot just trying to get new footage and photos to get them out there. Most of the time I'm too high or too far away for people to even notice. But...
