| For the Love of Radio Controlled Aircraft in the US, New Rules Possible. |
| (1/30) > >> |
| LaserSteve:
If you love to fly RC, please make constructive comments to the Federal Aviation Administration on their Notice of Proposed Rule Making Here: Deadline is Tuesday. March 2nd. I'll spare the political comments, but lets just say RC in your own backyard or building your own models from scratch is very much dead three years from the date of implementation, if implemented as proposed. Your model will be required to have electronics preventing takeoff without logging into a private pay to play notification, and approval system that provides tracking to FAA, Law Enforcement etc.. For those of you in the rest of the world, as the US Aerospace rules go, your rules will generally follow, in the name of international harmonization. You do not have to be a US Citizen to comment to our lawmakers. By the way, if you do not like RC aircraft piloted in real time by a human being without autopilot, I'd understand if you comment too, and would appreciate your doing so. Because otherwise this rule was probably largely written by industry lobbyists and law enforcement. If you can't write your own, the Academy of Model Aeronautics in the US has a response letter you can copy and paste. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2019/12/31/2019-28100/remote-identification-of-unmanned-aircraft-systems On NPRM replies to the federal government, emotional comments like "I Love this new rule you Stalinist Dogs" get filtered out. Comments that offer valid alternatives or constructive criticism get put into a spreadsheet of comments that get read by rule makers. Steve |

One more in the same line as the PIRATE Act for radio and removing Net Neutrality rules. I have too many comments about this that are #defined as not appropriate for this forum, according to Dave and the Mods. |

An amazing amount of bureaucracy to control a perceived threat, I'm not even sure what the threat is. Obviously, terrorists might just forget to pay $5 to register their UAS, so can't see how it would be effective anyway. |

I can imagine the intent is that vehicles that cannot be matched with a registration would gather alerts and preparations for capture/shootdown. Whether that can actually work in an environment with spoofed IDs is another question. |
