I fully support drones, but this definitely is going to make life interesting for light aircraft pilots flying around already busy airspace like SoCal at relatively low altitude. Hit a 55 pound drone and you'll feel it.
- mbreese 12y agoThis is far more restricted than that. They approved the use of drones by BP to survey their operations / pipelines in Alaska. I think the restrictions in SoCal will be much more stringent.
- VLM 12y agoHow would the impact be different if its a 55 pound commercial drone vs a 55 pound RC aircraft? Other than RC aircraft are currently much more popular than drones and very long term extrapolation of graphs implies drones will eventually darken the sky much as flocks of passenger pigeons supposedly darkened the skies?
