A patchwork of state/local #drone laws will create a chaotic NAS. A single Federal regulatory structure is vital for successful integration.

Significant changes in the law, that affect recreational #drone flyers (formerly called “hobbyists”), become effective today. See: faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId…

.@FAAnews has an email address for every single registered #drone owner, and the FAR Part 48 System of Records Notice (SORN) (faa.gov/news/updates/media/1…), specifically reads:

So why hasn’t @FAANews emailed each and every registered #drone owner, since that would “quickly disseminate safety and educational materials to these sUAS owners, in furtherance of the FAA’s safety and education objectives for unmanned aircraft operations[,]” as the SORN states?

A company known as “Rational Point” boasts of having partnered with Vigilant to intercept 61 #drones. The FCC fine is up to $16,000 for each jammer use, and as much as $112,500 for a single use (in addition to equipment seizure and possible imprisonment). @MiamiPD @FCC @FAANews.

*Marketing* jamming devices is also illegal, which Vigilant Drone Defense is clearly doing. And the *only* exception to the prohibition of *use* of a jamming device is authorized official use by the U.S. Federal Government. @MiamiPD @FCC @FAANews #drones

If the allegations are true, Vigilant Drone Defense not only violated 18 USC 32, but also violated The Communications Act of 1934 and FCC regulations. It could face hefty fines, equipment seizures & imprisonment. @MiamiPD @FCC @FAANews #drones wsvn.com/news/investigations…

The “Qualifications” requirement for membership ignores entirely the consideration of those who actually fly #drones, and is therefore utter bullshit. How about trying to be considered under the “rare circumstances” provision, which should not be “rare” at all. (SMH)

How about some regular people who are recreational model aircraft operators, or who are Part 107 pilots? Neither type of person is represented in the DAC membership now. FAA Seeks New #Drone Advisory Group Members: faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId… #drones

Now, about 72% of all #drone operations will no longer be (indirectly) supporting @AirMapIO's self-serving efforts to make flying more restrictive, less safe and ultimately more expensive through state/local permitting, etc. Bold & wise move by @DJIGlobal. xitter.gq/TheDroneGuy/status/105…
