UAS and FAA :Drone licensing: Anyone else have one?

[Dick Latshaw]

There should be no need to register a drone which is:

- on the operator’s property w/in a reasonable setback from the property line
- operating at a reasonable height
- operating at a reasonable speed

Ummm..OK.

There should be no need to register an AUTOMOBILE (and in most cases there isn't) which is:

- on the operator’s property w/in a reasonable setback from the property line
- operating at a reasonable height
- operating at a reasonable speed.

Except that some automobile owners are not going to abide by those restrictions.

I think the idea here is to deter some folks from doing stupid things, because their UAV can be traced back to them if it crashes.

The thing is, one can use a vehicle for “Farm Use”, and not only does it not need to be registered, it can operate on public roads while being used for agricultural purposes.

Private property, on private property should be private.

A license should be issued for each owner and then a license for each drone. The drones license number should be required to be on the drone in a reflective paint so it can be seen. The licensing should just like an airplane, boat or automobile.
