Worldwide the lawmakers are eying are hobby more and more closely. Many countries have rules guiding us. Other countries have recommendations. Some countries outright ban us.
Now it has come to my attention that there are individuals which will disrespect the rules and cause trouble.
Flying in NFZs, flying over groups of people, flying out of VLOS, etc.
Each time some incident happens because of this irresponsible behaviour, the law and the press pounce on it and try to use these incidents to promote ever tighter rules. If things go on like this we will slowly but surely be banned out of existence!
I think that we should promote proper behaviour on this site and try to educate other pilots that when they go outside of the set rules they are endangering our hobby.
Right now though this does not seem to be appreciated by the moderators as they allow distance-record, height-record and other discussions to thrive. This will incite people to break the rules as they want to take part. Not a good idea!!
So vote and let us know what you think!
