[QUOTE="I B Spectre, post: 107085, member: 18605"] If done properly, this will be a good thing. If not... I hold a private pilot license and while there is a good deal of the required information that is valuable and pertinent to drone pilots, a lot of it is not. Recreational drones, even if flown beyond the requisite VLOS, are limited to distances that no manned aircraft would be used for. There is no need to establish voice communication with controlling agencies, no flight following. Of the "more than one million registered recreational drone fliers" in the U.S,. I'd imagine the vast majority fly drones weighing 250 grams or more. I wonder how many with drones under 250 grams will hope to dodge the test thinking if they didn't have to register, they don't have to comply. We'll see, but I'm never optimistic that such things will be done with the right amount of forethought. [/QUOTE]
