DRONEon episode 7...

I'm listed with the Federal Aeronautic Administration (FAA) and the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) to fly drones and model aircraft. I get email updates all the time for new laws (good and bad) about recreational flying. Checking this morning I see on the FAA website some new changes will go into effect for 2020.
Okay, I'll have a look and downloaded the document to see it's a 462 page PDF.
Thanks, but not today!

Flying this weekend is totally shot in Palm Beach County as the president is hanging out at his Mar-a-Lago resort until the new year. I'm sure all the model aircraft pilots who had plans to fly at the county approved site are out doing other things as the field is closed, as in totally locked out. It's so bad they cannot hang out at the pit to BS and BBQ under the tin roof canopy! How's that for a kick in the arse?

Anyway, there is some possibly good news listed for low altitude authorization to recreational flyers... I guess I'll have to read the document.

I guess we won't see you around here for quite a while. laugh

And to think, when we were kids, we just went outside & played.
No documents required.
Yeah, balsa models that can fly 15 feet are banned in a radius of 25 miles from the president. Tell that to you kid on Christmas morning!
If they can only fly 15 feet, why would they need the ban to be for even 1 mile ? dunno
ALL model aircraft and that includes the ones on a string!
