However, the fact that the AMA requires this self policing certification for turbine pilots has produced very few incidents and a long track record of safety only proves and further supports the need for action regarding the Drone class.

Ive used the RTH feature just to see what it does and its pretty cool, like operating a CNC mill but without the big red panic button, LOL
