In America we call those Military Operating Areas (MOAs) and they have to follow the same rules over the populated areas. Which isn't 100ft at 650 mph. I'm calling that one a big steamy pile of bull ****.
Having grown up in a military family and having a dad as an air force fighter squadron commander, I've heard plenty of stories about fighters having to pull up for trees and even cacti.
He's retired now, so the stories are from a different era where things were a lot more lax I imagine, but I'm sure it still happens..
It might not be 100', but then again it might... You don't live there, and given my experience, you can't, with any authority call b.s. On his claim.
It's quite ironic, that the people who are crying about freedoms and being able to do whatever they want with their uas, are the same people being defiant with the faa's recommendations, bend and break the rules and in turn, force the faa to impose harsher, more restrictive recommendations and laws.
Kinda like shooting yourself in the foot...
My opinion for the future.
(Very brief, general, non-comprehensive list, obviously)
1. Make ADS-B and N numbers mandatory for SUAS.
2. Revise the minimum weight for SUAS
3. Require a sport pilots license for anyone operating a SUAS
I guess a major problem with that would be that you would also need a radio to be able to talk to ATC and get a squawk code and be able to talk to other aircraft.
Sound expensive? Yup, but it could be in our future. It just depends what idiot does what next.
