Re: New rules for EU and UK drones
So carry on for most of us, I guess - I'm a casual leisure flier - I don't do drones for work, mainly because I'm lacking the grace to fly them artistically, but my licence just got renewed so all is good for me. Of course, the people who currently fly them badly and unlicensed will just carry on as they've always done. There are thousands of illegally recorded videos on Youtube - nobody does a damn thing, so another useless unenforceable procedure I'm afraid.
My office is next to a railway line - which means I can't even take off from my own property! |

Re: New rules for EU and UK drones
It's tightening up everywhere including down here in Oz as of Jan 1st. Just updated and upgraded my rego to remain legal.
The future for the USA looks even worse as existing drones will have to be retrofitted with transponders to broadcast their location and owner/registration details. "Hey there Big Brother!" it had to happen. Chris Young https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/28/...ht-over-people |

Re: New rules for EU and UK drones
My broadcast drone colleagues, who spent a fortune on getting trained are furious, and even worse have discovered they still have to do paid refresher courses to keep their licence current, even though their privileges have been watered down. The only thing everyone agrees on is what a mess!
