August 2015 issue, page 78, Title: Technicalities, Author: Peter Garrison. Still on the stands so unless you subscribe it is not available online, B&N is your best bet. Gives a perspective from the full scale point of view. Enjoy.

FAA news from yesterday: https://www.faa.gov/news/updates/?newsId=83445
Gee...wonder who that industry partner is......

And of course you have no concept of what "industry" partners means, do you?

Thank you. Nice to know someone else is looking at these. Over 650 sightings so far this year is not a small problem. Yet all porcia wants to do is question who are the FAAs "industry partners". You have to wonder if he has ever even been to the "Know before you fly" website.

I know some will say I am paranoid but I was reading today about ADS-B and recalled that it had been brought up here before. I also recall seeing an article about someone developing a similar concept in a much smaller package that would be suitable for RC use. Based on other FAA documents I would not be surprised to see some regulations along these lines come out in the not-so-distant future. It's somewhat inevitable as long as there are those who insist on violating Class B, C and D airspacees and the Class E airspaces referenced by the ADS-B requirement.

Was anything the FAA released really news, was it really shocking or unexpected? Did we not think with the explosion of these multi rotors that sightings wouldn't go up? Guess what, they probably will continue to the more hype and focus on the issue continues to remain. Hopefully in the near future, they will drop...based on the AMA and FAA's education, as well as members like us helping those getting into the hobby. I'm guessing that with continued emphasis on safe flying...AND the media moving on to the newest and bestests ratings grabbing headlines, "sightings" will drop.

6 months ago I had dire reservations about our hobby's future or lack there of. Today not so much, the news media has come around. When an incident of Drone vs Airliner is reported on the evening News the anchor or reporter has finally made note that Drones (Quads) are not to be flown with in 5 miles of a major airport or above 400'. Also comments that there are large fines and possible jail time for offenders, if Caught and convicted. All the better for the Hobby I'd say.

That does not mean they will not do anything, because they will, as the violations continue to esculate in numbers around the World.
We can not control this behaviour of idiots flying anywhere near an airport or full scale aircraft. The FAA can.
Believe it, will see future restrictions in this hobby as it continues.

Jeez.....not sure if you're joking or just in a bad mood...wow. Do you really not know who the industry partner is that worked with the FAA on the Know before you Fly " campaign? I think I've posted that link, and graphic, at least 20 times since it came out.

Tin Foil Hats prediction is accurate as seen as evidence in today news media. Yes, it's coming True. Some people think this will pass without any intervention of the FAA, and sad but true, they have not done anything yet.
That does not mean they will not do anything, because they will, as the violations continue to esculate in numbers around the World.
We can not control this behaviour of idiots flying anywhere near an airport or full scale aircraft. The FAA can.

The industry can also help and the FAA is trying to get them too. Most UAVs are sold with navigation sytems that prevent someone from flying over 400 fett in altitude and out of line-of-site. But these systems are constantly being cracked primarily because they have no security built in. Industry can prevent that. Instead it shows people how to circumvent it. This is another place the FAA can wield a potentially heavy hand like it did on the GPS jammers. But it hasn't. YET.
Edit: I'm talking here about the major problems right now. Those people who are presenting a hazard to full scale aircraft. If you see a UAV entering an airport airspace, expecially at altitude, try to get it on your phone. Try to track it back to it's pilot. Get his face on camera and then send it to the police. They will be very hapy about it. But that clown who is snooping on your neighbors daughter? Let the meighbor take care of that problem.

Edit: the more I think about it, there are sUas outfits that are starting to organize and attempt to play a role in crafting rules and regs, and lobbying for their specific interests, both commercial (real estate, agriculture), as well as altruism (search and rescue).

I'd wager all most all Animals BP rises when ever something changes in their world. It's a defence mechanism nature has provided. It's called Flight or Fight. I'm certain that an animals or humans BP levates with either situation. A study like this make little sense unless it was compared to other stimuli. JMHO but interesting anyway.

Not a drone incident but equally as stupid. Would not be surprised to see this happen with a multirotor some day though, we've already seen one incident like this in NY. In this case the kid probably got some dog bites, and was arrested. I thought this charge was appropriate, and wonder if we have something similar on the books (or could be soon);
Unlawfully Engage in Behavior that Endangers an Aircraft - Aeronautics Act
This was in Canada. That charges seems generic in nature and can fit many different things. The other charge was similar to our "reckless endangerment" charges that can fit a variety of scenarios.

Just more dumb idiots in my opinion.

Here is another new article that may be promising in the near future. I hope they can get it to work, and with technology today, it will not be long. Take a look at this.
