Hello, you might know that I like to disagree with the drone rules and regulations, I still follow them (most of the time, that is) but I have strong feeling that EASA is trying to make drone flying impossible in the future.
Let me explain:
They are introducing many irrelevant rules that don't make any sense. An excellent example of this is the C-Marking, what gives?! It doesn't make things any safer, but instead, it limits the use of drones in certain places. What they are trying to do is to slowly but surely limit the use of drones until they ban them.
They know that if they just straight up ban them, people will go against them, but if they limit it step by step everyone will adjust to the new regulations.
Let me set another example: Remote ID, EASA already mentioned that they are planning to introduce that in 2024. Tell me, who wants their drone to be scannable by strangers? Most definitely no one! Now tell me who tried to do something about it? Not many people! And then you see FAA trying to do the same thing and people suing them. See the difference?
I live in Spain, and for people outside of Spain I can tell you, the situation with drones here is horrible now, they install Aeroscopes everywhere they can, fining 200k for flying above cities without any prior warnings and then post fake news about drone crashes on TV and News. Really? Is this going towards completely banning them?
If you don't agree, please tell me a situation where the C-Marking is beneficial or safe, or why can't I fly in a city? See, doesn't make sense that I can fly a mini 2 in a city, but not a mavic air 2.
