I act as an advisor for DronesBench http://www.dronesbench.com http://www.dronesbench.com and we think there should also be some sort of drone efficiency certification for the consumer market (from 250g to about 4kg, under 250g they are toys according to EASA legislation draft), same as other electro-mechanical devices or machines, with a concise parameter to be sported on the drone's plate. Too much a difference from the value declared by the vendor may imply hidden defects of the drone and therefore the possibility of a crash. We are actively proposing our DronesBench Index to IEEE and EASA for the legislation to come, with encouraging response from IEEE at the preliminary level. It remains to be seen if and how things progress in a formal way.
- peteretep 9y agoI'd love to see noise regulation. Nothing more irritating than being somewhere peaceful and beautiful when a couple of douchey drone flyers decide to ruin the quiet

- sillysaurus3 9y ago"Noise regulation" is just a euphemism for "ban drones" since drones are always noisy.
- The_Sponge 9y agoWell then, ban drones.
- fh973 9y agoI am all for reducing noise in our environment. But you hardly hear my copters if a car or motorcycle passes. Most AC makes more noise. I don't understand this irrational phobia. Is the fact that it is flying triggering some deeper mechanisms in the brain? It reminds me of my two year old's reaction to wasps.
- probablybanned 9y agoThe gp isn't expressing fear, but annoyance. As you well know but choose to misrepresent. You are a nuisance. Your comment reminds me of a two year old's reaction to being asked to stop running around screaming.
- peteretep 9y agoMost AC isn't in secluded places of outstanding natural beauty, where drones increasingly are.
- ant6n 9y agoAnd many ACs break noise rules (often 40db in residential areas).
