It's an honor to be chosen to represent the 206,000+ Remote Pilots in the U.S. on the DAC. Kenji Sugahara and I were notified this morning that we were chosen as the representative in the new created Citizen UAS Operators category.

That's nice. You wanted that.

So, what will you be able to do there? Hopefully you’ll be getting input from pilots here that can help us all.

Congrats...

Would have been fair to include the AMA
to represent the RC Hobby Community at
the DAC meetings.

Not sure why AMA isn't there anymore, but we will be working closely with Rich to get their opinions heard.

We're the only ones at the table that fly drones for a living and for fun. There has never been someone on the DAC that does that. So we'll be able to provide the perspective of the 107 Pilot during discussions about regulations.

And since we'll be there as hobbyists and FPV enthusiasts, that will be presented too.
