[QUOTE="Blue Baron, post: 15441, member: 1204"] Well, I don't know. We may have a real issue here nobody is responsible for. E.g., I know of a location in rural Southern Germany where airspace is unrestricted with no limitation and no nearby airports or heliports. Yet, about twice within a year, I've seen fighter jets flying low in tandem and close to speed of sound (they came back the exact same path half an hour later, so must be sort of training corridor - yet not marked in any map I could get hold of ...). The moment you could hear them they had already passed! No way a drone pilot would have any chance to react. I don't care about the drone though - there are manned ultra-light vehicles in the region and I doubt the fighters would have had a chance to avoid a collision with them too. I do really think we need a technical solution where all aircrafts within the same airspace can see each other electronically, drones und ultra-lights included. It is overdue. I consider any approach to avoid hazards only by separating airspace a thing of the past. If any drone rules are discussed, it should be forward thinking, not anchored in the past. Just my two cents.
