I thought the DJI Phantom quadcopters do have firmware lockout for certain restricted areas. Most RC flying clubs are committed to being good neighbors and not conflicting with other aircraft. Part of the issue is that Helicopters do fly quite low, well away from airports, and the DJI Phantom can be flown high enough to be a concern. Another part of these new regulations is identifying the RPV so that appropriate enforcement or education can occur. Some people have suggested that DJI Phantom and other RPVs are shipped in "idiot" mode with tight restrictions. Once an operator can show responsible operation, then switch to a less restrictive mode.
