The rules that FAA is apparently preparing to issue seem excessive to me. Why should a drone below 400 ft altitude be operated by a licensed pilot? Besides creating employment for pilots. |
I'm a commercial helicopter pilot. It is not unusual for us to fly over populated areas at 300 to 500 ft above the ground. Needless to say many of us are not thrilled about the increase in UAS currently taking place. Don't get me wrong, I find their capabilities interesting but a collision could easily bring down a helicopter.
