FAA Proposes Restrictive Drone Remote ID that Will Push Up Compliance Costs, Restrict Operations, and Seriously Hurt the Drone Industry
Today’s show is about the BIG announcement that has shaken up the drone industry. Drone pilots have gotten a rude Christmas shock as FAA has proposed restrictive drone remote ID technology that could seriously hamper the growth of the drone industry. Learn how additional hardware and compliance requirements proposed in this NPRM could drastically increase costs, reduce efficiencies, infringe on the drone pilot’s privacy and safety and MURDER the drone industry.

In other news, we discuss NYC drone laws. As regular ADU listeners might be aware, an old avigation law makes it illegal to fly a drone in NYC. However, an unfortunate accident has yet again highlighted the need to conduct timely building inspections using drone technology. Other topics discussed in this show include drone deliveries in Africa and DJI Phantom 4 production updates.
