I make no assumptions as to what that actually was. Regardless, the legislation was a knee jerk reaction to it and the way in which it was done left me questioning it's constitutional and ethical grounds.

Because this whole entire enchilada is a knee-jerk reaction to the NJ "drone invasion" by uninformed, corrupt and lazy politicians.

This is the only grace we received yesterday. Does anyone know if firmware updates will continue to be pushed out to existing models?

And she's proud of it. https://www.facebook.com/share/p/17uqRiH26w/

Yeah I have, actually. I will more than likely be operating under it when it becomes law as well. Hoops are hoops. There's plenty of hoops in 107 as well. The fact that 108 even exists is proof positive that VLOS flight has been recognized by the powers that be to be an impractical standard...

Have you read Part 108? They already are reconsidering it.

Lost my Mini 3 in a wooded area last week. Hit a tree top and got it stuck up there in an area inaccessible by foot. No choice but to write it off. An expensive lesson, and the replacement is already on the way. But I won't be taking those kind of risks again.

There's some very helpful information in that article, thank you.

The CCP also gives no f**ks about the safety of their citizenry. Now, could the FAA relax a little while at the same time getting their act together with this stuff? Yes. But safety and responsible flight comes first. Hank touched on it. Commercial and military air traffic safety is paramount...

Yeah no matter how this shakes out I don't see "confiscation" as a possibility in any reality. Anyone who thinks so should log off, go touch grass and take a deep breath.

I disagree and would ask you to cite your statement. Several corporations based in foreign nations have litigated under Constitutional provisions before various U.S. courts. I'd use any number of Japanese auto-makers as examples. They've been litigating in U.S. courts for decades and benefitting...

I would never expect to actually call up a Representative's office and speak to that Representative. This is not unique to Elise Stefanik. You'll be talking to an aide just like when you email or call any Federal government official. You can still speak your mind.

If you're worried, call Elise Stefanik and Rick Scott's offices and make a case for DJI. As far as what happens to DJI drones after 12/23, I don't think the proverbial hammer will fall. I think this is more than anything a symbolic action that may end up limiting DJI a little on the open market...

First time I've heard that premise and it's...debatable. There are too many variables to consider all recreational flights "training". I don't see the word "training" in any section of Part 107 or 44809, you're assuming a lot.

Same thing happened to me. I took it personally until I realized it seems to happen a lot. Must be some kind of automated action. Once I figured out how to contact an admin without being able to log into my account, it was taken care of right away.
