I'll give them the same respect that they give me. Currently, they give me none. My only rule now is "Don't bother anyone." As for the GPS loss, perhaps they should ask us hobbyists how to fix this. Would be fun to tell them to figure it out themselves.

the thing about fpv most people don't get is, we are mostly aviation fans, usually a lifelong love of all things aircrafty, i knew what a landing vector was 40 years ago, i love airplanes. wouldnt dream of endangering one in any way.

Nah Bruce, ya got the numbers wrong on the low end, thats 90 million DJI Product Flights Only. None of the drones form other companies or home built hobbyists, meaning that in the counted airspace there were many more flights uncounted. DJI have a strong presence in commercial use, but recreational, they're small potatoes. You could safely triple that number IMHO.

I really appreciate the information. I would like to know in the last 7 years how much money in fines the FAA has collected from recreational manned aircraft pilots versus recreational unmanned pilots. Then a comparison of lives lost and property damage done by each. There appears to be a discrepancy.

Hi Bruce. The fact that the FAA starts with several regulations for (hobby)drones is the fact that they are affraid for criminal activaties. That's why remote id and that kind of stuff has come in to our lives. They're trying to disencourage us to fly our drones and/or fixed wings. I have no criminal intend, but i surely think that that's the reason they are making our hobby impossible. Excuses for my English. Kind regards, and keep up your channel(s).

I disagree, it has ZERO to do with any criminal activity, or safety concerns , or terrorism, or anything else , it is all about the Commercial industry and their $$$ that Congress and the FAA etc are getting for the lower airspace. One Drone Business leader said to the Congress committee, that" the UTM must be created so the Commercial drone Industry can thrive and we must have the NAS 400 feet and below to make it work" that was just stated a few weeks ago when they were having a meeting for the FAA Reauthorization Act again . That said it all . And btw RID was only created to have surveillance on hobbyists so they can be easily identified and removed from the NAS in a particular area IF a commercial interests wants that flight path for their own use.

Hi Bruce, I saw the video listed, but I have not yet watched it, and I plan to within a few hours. Ninety million flights, huh? In some ways, it reminds me of the McDonald's restaurant signs, when at one time, they used to post the quantity of hamburgers served... :) _John_

Bruce there are multiple ways of handling GPS loss. 1) Quality IMU provide good enough data for a meaningful amount of dead reckoning 2) Optical flow can be used to significantly reduce position drift encountered in inertial navigation to the point where rather cheap IMUs are viable for navigation 3) Optical navigation is a thing and since for example Wing drones land on visual markers it is not that hard to implement visual-inertial odometry that with use of maps can maintain position information indefinitely.

Yet the Wing drone landed on power lines 🙂 Also, in all the FAA's hand-wringing and regulation I've seen no requirement for delivery drones to have any of these backup systems -- they're far to busy forcing RID on the hobby.

Regulators are an interesting species. They determine the rules of the road and none of them has ever flown a drone. They have an uncanny abilities to believe in anything but facts. They do not ever believe they are wrong and wouldn't admit it if they were. This takes a lot of work to be trained with these abilities. What ever happened to reality?

Isn’t the insurance the reason so many drone pilots are AMA members even though AMA acts like their membership only flies planes? And congress got involved when they realized drones could be used as weapons delivery systems, as can cars, trucks, planes, bicycles, boats…or maybe it was just the cash from all these organizations trying to catch the next fad?
