No commentsMADRID ( EXTRACREW.COM ) - The Association of Commercial Aviation Pilots (COPAC ) has made public , via press release , the need for the Ministry of Public Works properly regulate the use of remotely piloted aircraft - called drones or RPA 's.
COPAC has conveyed his displeasure to the State Aviation Safety Agency (EASA ) for the processing of the Royal Decree for the regulation of air operations with drones , since the period considered insufficient , barely twenty-four hours for the submission of claims to recently proposed by EASA on the issue.
COPAC for the regulation of this activity is not necessary to stop its business expansion , whilst ensuring the safety of operations and preparing pilots operating this type of aircraft , for which it is necessary to have input from professionals and organizations involved.
COPAC for the commercial development of drones in all possible areas of application must conform to rules and following some operational and safety criteria to avoid uncontrolled use, it would involve risks to aviation safety and to people .
In recent months it has proliferated the use of such aircraft by different companies , in some cases operated by people without any knowledge , training or qualifying license for use . In this sense, the COPAC considered essential that professionals that operate drones have a commercial flight license, aeronautical knowledge and appropriate mental and physical fitness to ensure the safety of operations to avoid other aircraft incidents and urges EASA to the regulations currently being developed to collect these requirements.
Do you have a price for a human life??pixturethis wrote:I'm not against it either, I just want to see it grow as it will. It needs to be safe for everyone in the sky's. The transponder is a good idea, have you prices one lately ?
There are so many small full sized aircraft that don't have them.
And then there is the problem of the knowledge. Every pilot that is certified to fly an aircraft took a flight license, he went to school to learn about the rules, aerodynamics, navigation, and all the stuff that makes a pilot. also they must have regular health checks done. Being a pilot is not just getting into an airplane and fly it. There's much more than that. And if someone wants to share the same airspace, he has to have the same knowledge and qualification. The same goes to the aircraft.. OTHERWISE IT IS DANGEROUS for other people flying and for people on the ground. There are rules for FPV. A couple of them are:That is why something new has to come about. If the control tower had to deal with everything flying, they would be overwhelmed. That is why I'm saying it has to be something that every pilot is responsible for. Make the pilot responsible for it, not the government.

Auto correct messed up my post.jhsa wrote:600m is about 2000ft I think. That is still too high I would say. Also no flying over people and property is a must.

I agree with Philipp that regulative approach will Kill the RC-Hobby and only the bad idiot people will still be out there.Philipp wrote:You cannot stop every idiot who wants to fly his toy somewhere it clearly does not belong to do so. If you force every enthusiast and hobbyist who obeys to regulations and laws to fly their planes and aircraft only on club sites however, you basically take away all the good people of the community from the fields and parks, but leave the ones who do not care about the hobby and the community anyway, doing stupid things as reported by you and others.
Stupid and dangerous actions of some uneducated (or plain stupid and dangerous) individuals do not kill the hobby, the assumption made by the public and politicians that these individuals represent the hobby does.
It's already actual law in Germany (since, I'm not sure, around 2008 or so) that you MUST have an insurance. Since that time, personal insurances are no longer allowed to cover the risk of flying models what was possible up to that time.Philipp wrote:I'm definitely with you regarding the insurance, everybody screws up someday or has a mishap, you have to be covered in this case
