[QUOTE="Lastrexking, post: 63425, member: 175"] Firstly, if you’re not following the drone advocacy group NODE, you really should. I think it's vital that we have a group that protect our hobby - even if it is set up by the manufacturers it is in our interest to support them. You can find them on Twitter here: @nodeeurope @nodecampain There are currently two issues that all drone owners in the EU need to take notice of. The first is the EU's plan to impose a rule where 'all [I]“Class C1 and C2 UAS of unmanned aircraft systems shall have a sound power level not exceeding [80-90] dB(A) determined in full power and stationary conditions using the basic noise emission standard EN ISO 3744:2010”.' [/I] This affects everything DJI manufacture - -even the Spark. Secondly - for those of us in the UK; Government is considering a future requirement for drone pilots to make use of a Flight Information and Notification System (FINS) - a kind of app through which you would have to organise your drone flight. This would significantly impact both recreational and commercial drone use because: [LIST] [*]It would apply to drones with a mass of 250g and over - basically all drones that are not considered mere toys; [*]It would require drone users to file a notification before every single take-off, stating both the intended location and time of use; [*]And the mandatory use of this service might have to be paid for by the drone user, with a fee determined either by the system provider or resulting from a maximum amount set by Government. [/LIST] Please take the time to sign up for node and add your name to those against these ridiculous proposals.
