You need at least an recreational or sport pilot license. That requirement will go away when the FAA releases their new rules (some year).
Just go away or replaced with more BS? Got a feeling it will be expensive.You need at least a recreational or sport pilot license. That requirement will go away when the FAA releases their new rules (some year).
It won't "go away". An Airman's Certificate will still be required for commercial flight but the Part 107 rules will create a new class of Airman's Certificate for UAS operators. There's still a written test, but you don't have to learn to fly a Cessna.You need at least a recreational or sport pilot license.

There's so much wrong with everything you said. The mid-november date was for the Task Force report which they met. The DOT has asked the FAA to finalize a registration process before the end of the year, but the FAA made no such commitment. The registration is simply a change in policy - not a new rule. Aircraft registration has been in the rules for decades but the FAA ignored them for model aircraft.Right after the kick on the registration... for which they were shooting to finalize by mid-November and start up mid-December. But hey.. they also said registration work would not interfere with the 4 month over-due regulations.
In the meantime... more and more illegal laws are being passed and drone fliers are being harassed.
I can only say, watch the question and answer portion of there announcement again. They states that they will finalize the registration process by mid November and hope to roll it out mid December.There's so much wrong with everything you said.

Which is what I'm referring to. Most are doing it because they feel no current rules are in place. They are pretty much correct in that regard. It's kind of a catch-22... until the FAA comes out with regulations on drones, local law enforcement will continue to make these over-baring and illegal laws. Drone flying will also be painted as a wild west shoot out in the media as well.The only illegal drone laws being passed are by the amateur legislators in town hall and state capitols.
By go away, I meant you will not need a manned aircraft license. The FAA is working on creating a new "operator license". They didn't mention the exact cost or method to acquire it, but it will be easily obtainable by most people.Just go away or replaced with more BS? Got a feeling it will be expensive.
"Hope to have..." is not a commitment.I can only say, watch the question and answer portion of there announcement again. They states that they will finalize the registration process by mid November and hope to roll it out mid December.
"Hope... task force will complete it's recommendations by mid November [11/20]... and having some rules in place by mid December"
"With the goal of having some rules in place by the middle part of December".

What I stated is still all correct. Point being... the FAA is over-due on drone regulations and I suspect drone registration will be the same way.
Which is why I said, "shooting for". My point is stil that the FAA has yet to put out their regulations on drones and that is 4 months past the due date. Now they want to set up registration. This thread is about getting ready for that registration. Well, no one should be holding their breath. The FAA told people they would expedite that plan but that holds next to no weight."Hope to have..." is not a commitment.
There already are federal rules in place:
49 U.S. Code §40103 - Sovereignty and use of airspace
(a) Sovereignty and Public Right of Transit.—
(1) The United States Government has exclusive sovereignty of airspace of the United States.
Only the FAA may regulate flight.
Only the FAA may create a no-fly-zone.
