[QUOTE="Blue Baron, post: 15460, member: 1204"] I hoped I wouldn't have to clarify ... The fighters were well below 100 m, allowed height for drones in airspace G is 100m, minimal "safe" flight altitude for manned aircraft is 150 m (300 m in cities). (applies to Germany) [USER=2420]@BobD[/USER], your post contained multiple errors and doesn't alter my point: the height restriction for drones creates a perceived increased safety which isn't for real. As a matter of fact, chances to hit an aircraft at 500 m are a lot smaller than at 100 m, as I have observed. Better to solve the problem by technology and then allow the same heights as are allowed for balloons now (which is at least up to 3000 m). Where I am right now, most manned aircraft ignore the minimal "safe" flight altitude (well, they probably don't ignore, but there are millions of flights exempted from this per year). I really hate discussions (this forum included) along the lines "follow the rules and all will be good". It won't. We need an active and more intelligent discussion, how rules AND technology should evolve. Especially in a drone forum, I believe. [/QUOTE]
