Every day I spend a few minuts on this forum and I have noticed alot of comments regarding new licenceing requirements for recreational drone pilots and I am not opposed to regulations, but it made me think a bit. Before I got my MavicAir I flew a imitation Phantom $100 drone anyplace I wanted, any time I wanted , was not regerstered , did not file flight plans or anything else. Being a bit older and wiser I finally did some research and found out what I should do. Consequently I regerstered, learned the rules and Am, at this point a stickler about doing things right and legal. As a retired Police Officer it makes me feel good to be responsable. Now I am wondering what can be done about the Outlaw drone drivers that are cluttering everything thing up and making it more difficult for those of us that are doing things right ? Personally I try to talk to those who are interested and lead them in the right direction. (1) buy a cheap drone, regerster it , learn the rules , learn to fly then ,if you arte able and care to step up to DGI or airship of your choice.
At times you will notice that I , toung in cheek, will mention things to people on the forum like altitude restrictions, VLOS and basic stupidity. The reason I do this is that I am old and I can. I guess what the bottom line is that we should be responsable for informing and educateing people who show an intrest and impressing upon them that there is more to this hobby/sport/ buisness than simply laying the money on the counter.
I will stop rembeling now, but again I will say " I am Old and I can if I wish"
