But it is a "Notice to Airmen", not notice to drunken fed worker. I know the FAA and NTSB suport this and certianly their needs to be something in place. Certainly their is a goverment right to set up restricted airspace. But to say this is all clear to the layman, well it clearly is not.
To the layman this is a toy, and that document does not apply to them.

Wishful thinking by Joe........
DJI already had software in it's multi-rotors for that. It was just not very complete. So now in a reactionary fashion, DJI is just sending out an update to its customers.......Not a big deal there........
The bigotry and prejudice toward multi-rotors is ridiculous.

This is the best explanation I have seen of why it happens. Bottom line the electronics are not reliable enough to fly over people and structures. the AMA FPV rules have it right.

This is about commercial operations. I believe the AMA is only about recreational use of model airplanes and FPV, and possibly recreational use of autonomous UAV. . Or are they trying to get into the commercial operations now?

OMG, SERIOUSLY. I hope you don't believe that ...! Even if no formal charges are brought against him do you really think his superiors will look kindly on the unfavorable attention the agency he works for is getting out of this? In my opinion he will be lucky to keep his job and only get censured. I don't know where you work but most companies and gov. agencies that I'm aware of fire people for bad behavior even if it's outside the job.

These things we fly are dangerous. But so is driving to the field. I saw another one crash in the parking lot for no reason at all Except radio failur. I won't mention that it had a Spectrum radio and an AR610 receiver though.

So we've agreed then that we need a stronger government and FAA presence in our hobby to stop the drones, and that the trend towards socialism is the worst thing since HobbyKing customer support, so it needs to be stopped?
Now I'm confused!
