Anthony I totally agree. Some kind of license should be required, but not something that is clearly overkill.I'm a private pilot and sort of have an appreciation for why the FAA is heading that way. I think responsible flyers can largely self-regulate, but knowledge of airspace is something I believe anyone in the sky should be aware of. Sort of like as a minimum knowing the rules of the road to drive a scooter. A full license is probably overkill, but a certificate of some sort couldn't hurt and it would go a long way to appease opponents.
doesnt say how big of extinguisher is needed. there are pretty small ones now that could easily fit in a bag and are no bigger then a large bottle of waterGreat start, and will need to mature.
I found the restriction about not flying when there are clouds quite limiting. If someone wants to claim you were flying illegally, they just need to point to a cloud in the sky.
Also the requirements to have a fire extinguisher pretty much rules out the capability to take the UAV on a hiking trip, unless you really like to carry weights in your backpack....
Yet, this is a progressive document that was certainly written by people in the know.
