Next month the new FAA Reg part 107 for Drones comes out. ALL these armchair pilots with drones will be required to be licensed.
It's about fucking time. As a pilot I've been hit with green lasers at night from fucktards on the ground thinking it's funny to blind us. I have friends who have had too many close encounters with drones. It's a matter of time when Drone strikes replace the amount of bird strikes.
"The FAA has released FAR Part 107 that takes effect in August 2016. Many if not all of the proposed rules and regulations have been incorporated with minor changes to some of the wording. If you are a Part 61 certificate holder (you have a pilot certificate of one kind or another), you can transition to a Remote Pilot Certificate (Remote PIC) without a lot of hassle. For those of you that do not have a Part 61 certificate will have to go through a ground and flight school to get your Remote PIC"
For those who have no life. here is the 624 page regulation concerning Drones & UAV pilot requirements.
