Don’t you think they can’t learn that just like you did?
- blktiger 8y agoIt's not a matter of whether drone operators _can_ learn. It's more a matter of many of them _not_ learning. Why do firefighters still have trouble with drone operators running drones in areas where they are actively fighting fires? Not that all pilots are good about following the regulations all the time even though they should, but the consequences to the individual for not following FAA regulations as a private pilot are generally much higher than they are/should be for drone operators.
- sand500 8y agoSure, random drone people are a problem but in this case, I don't see why the airport themselves cannot hire trained professional drone operators. Drones opperated by the firefighters themselves might prove to be useful.
- blktiger 8y agoThere are professional drone operators out there and they have been deployed to help out with emergencies.
- inamberclad 8y agoI don't think they're motivated to learn.
