FPV isn't VFR compliant either so, that being said, ATC is powerless to do anything other than warn others the quad is there. I see this requiring quad operators to be required to have two way communication with ATC to prevent collisions in the not too distant future
Maybe for big professional/commercial Drones But all is needed is an ADS-B transmitter and all full scale aircraft will/can avoid any interaction with Hobby Drones. All a person needs is one that is transferable between aircraft (Drones). Like I stated before if a club had one on say a 20 foot pole they could broad cast their position and full scale would avoid the area. Problem solved. Besides if U check some of my posts about FAR 91.119(b), Then it's the full scale plane is required to circumnavigate any place there is an open air assembly of people by a minimum of 2000' horizontally or a thousand + feet. It worked when I referenced 91.119(b) to the local flight school head instructor low over flight have seized by almost 99%. Planes have been above 1640' 500 meters.
