Webinar Replay 3-23-15: The Hidden Traps in the FAA Proposed Rules & What to Do About It Now
Originally Aired: Monday, March 16, 2015 at 7 pm EST.
After an hour long interview with an expert drone Attorney, we we're a bit taken back by several of the "hidden traps" in the FAA proposed rules. So much so that we realized we'd better do a webinar about it so we can keep you informed of the latest realities during the feedback period. At first glance the new proposed rules looked like a step in the right direction. But there are actually several issues that could eliminate FPV flight for hobbyists, and create strict rules for commercial operators.
What can you do to help fight these potential major problems? We will go through everything we recently talked through with the expert drone Attorney and, more importantly, what we should be doing about it now before it's too late. Do NOT miss this all important webinar, and come with your questions.
You will learn the following:
What are the major concerns and problems with the proposed FAA regulations that maybe we all overlooked?
What can you do to fight them and make your voice heard?
Why is this so critical to any UAV enthusiast after all (is it really that big of a deal)? What exactly would it mean for us?
What industries will be most affected by the possible regulations? How would they be affected?
Why You Should Watch:
We went over the proposed FAA rules, including the problems and dangers facing everyone from hobbyists to commercial operators, and even future students. NPRM107 has significant flaws that will impact everyone in this industry, and the problems with it run deep. For example, did you know that if these rules pass, you would need a letter from a foreign aviation authority just to register your DJI Inspire 1? That's right...the rules as they are currently proposed would dictate that foreign manufacturers of vehicles would require you to obtain a letter from the foreign aviation authority stating the vehicle hasn't been previously registered. This legislation is riddled with problems, and you better ensure you know all of them in order to educate the community and comment before it's too late.
