Drone Registration Recommendations Submitted
By Russ Niles

Drones weighing as little as eight ounces will have to be registered with the
FAA if the agency accepts recommendations of a 26-member panel struck last
month to design a registration scheme. The panel, which included
representatives from Amazon, Google, drone manufacturers and aviation groups,
delivered their recommendations
http://www.faa.gov/news/press_releases/news_story.cfm?newsId=19778 to the FAA
Administrator Michael Huerta on Saturday. Although Huerta didn't release
details of the suggestions, it's pretty hard to get 26 people to keep a secret
so elements of the proposal started leaking out late last week.

The panel wants registration to be free and to be painlessly accomplished
online. Rather than register individual aircraft, the group wants operators
themselves to be registered so that multiple drones can be listed under their
names. It will be up to the FAA to determine the penalties that will apply to
those who don't comply but analysts worry that because the vast majority of
hobby users are unfamiliar with aviation regulations that compliance will be
slow to start. Aviation groups were adamant that the drones fit into the
existing system and that manned aviation not give up any airspace access to
accommodate them. Huerta has promised a quick turnaround on the new rules
because the FAA wants the rules in place before an estimated 700,000 drones end
up as presents over the coming holidays.

Section 333

As of 11/20/2015
Number of Petitions Granted / Closed
Petitions Granted: 2,384
Petitions Closed: 399

By law, any aircraft operation in the national airspace requires a certificated
and registered aircraft, a licensed pilot, and operational approval
http://www.faa.gov/uas/media/Sec_331_336_UAS.pdf. Section 333 of the FAA
Modernization and Reform Act of 2012 (FMRA) (PDF) grants the Secretary of
Transportation the authority to determine whether an airworthiness certificate
is required for a UAS to operate safely in the National Airspace System (NAS).
This authority is being leveraged to grant case-by-case authorization for
certain unmanned aircraft to perform commercial operations prior to the
finalization of the Small UAS Rule, which will be the primary method for
authorizing small UAS operations once it is complete.
The Section 333 Exemption process provides operators who wish to pursue safe
and legal entry into the NAS a competitive advantage in the UAS marketplace,
thus discouraging illegal operations and improving safety. It is anticipated
that this activity will result in significant economic benefits, and the FAA
Administrator has identified this as a high priority project to address demand
for civil operation of UAS for commercial purposes.

FAA: Think Twice about "Drone Registration" Firms

November 16 – Unmanned aircraft users should know they probably won’t need help
registering their drones when the system is in place.
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) wants unmanned aircraft owners to
know that there's no need to work with a “drone registration” company to help
them file an application for a registration number.
Owners should wait until additional details about the forthcoming drone
registration system are announced later this month before paying anyone to do
the work for them.

The Task Force assigned to provide FAA Administrator Michael Huerta with
recommendations on the registration process is still days away from delivering
this information. But at least one company is already offering to help people
register their drones for a fee.

Speaking to the Task Force two weeks ago, Administrator Huerta told the group
to provide guidance on a streamlined unmanned aircraft registration process
that will be simple and easy to complete, and which types of UAS would need to
be registered and which would not. The Task Force agreed and is working on
recommendations for a system that is similar to registering any newly purchased
product with its manufacturer as well as a minimum weight for unmanned aircraft
that must be registered.

Drone owners should visit FAA.gov for official updates on the unmanned aircraft
registry.

This is supposed to be the 'Year Of The Drone' as a result of Xmas gift giving
of millions of Chinese-made toys resulting in children flooding the skies with
annoying little flesh-choppers.

Doubtless, the FAA will be deluged with reports of drone operations that
violate FAA's hastily drafted regulations, resulting in FSDO Inspectors'
workloads rocketing off the charts.

When the news media start publishing/broadcasting the resulting stories of
hefty fines being levied against the 'offenders,' the flush of opportunist
drone-registration-agents http://aeroone.net/#start will likely see an
avalanche of competitive Section 333 petition preparation price cutting.

And the world will witness the 'Year Of The Regulatory System Meltdown'. :-)

The resulting chaos will be far more entertaining than an Xmas parade. Ho Ho
Ho indeed!

Emergency wards will overflow with un-healable propeller inflicted wounds.
Court dockets will swell to fill court clerks' offices as a result of the
inevitable torrent of personal injury suits. Aviation Law Judges will be
buried by the tsunami of cases brought by FAA enforcement actions.

Globalization's impact on simple things can be overwhelming. Just imagine the
endless upload stream of yottabytes of 4K video that are likely to crash
YouTube and FaceBook servers. ...

The new age will be merry and scary and filled with Strisandesque privacy
complaints https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect, more law suits
against those who would "shoot the little suckers down"
http://www.cnet.com/news/judge-rules-man-had-right-to-shoot-down-drone-over-his-house/,
and when the Amazon/UPS delivery drones are unleashed, will the sun be dimmed
in the sky from the resulting drone-cast? :-)

FAA Drone Registry Now Open

By Mary Grady

Monday was the first day of the FAA’s drone registry, and it was not without
glitches, with users reporting that it went down for a while shortly after it
opened, and others complaining that the FAA posted incorrect information for
law enforcement about deadlines. The site is back up and running, and that
law-enforcement information has been fixed, but others are still finding
problems in the system. One Twitter poster said he registered and then was
shown information for someone from Nevada. “Did they even bug test this thing?”
he asked. The FAA has, however, succeeded at getting the word out — virtually
all of the major news outlets have covered the drone-registry story over the
last week.

Concerns also have been expressed that the registry information will be
available on the web to anyone, and will include the names and addresses of
minors as young as 13. The FAA told Forbes blogger John Goglia: “Until the
drone registry system is modified, the FAA will not release names and address.
When the drone registry system is modified to permit public searches of
registration numbers, names and addresses will be revealed through those
searches.” The Academy of Model Aeronautics has urged its 185,000 members to
hold off on registering. “We strongly believe our members are not the problem
and should not have to bear the burden of additional regulations,” the group
says in its blog. The AMA has filed a petition in federal court challenging the
FAA’s definition of model aircraft. The FAA has posted FAQs
http://www.faa.gov/uas/faq/ and fact sheets online for anyone looking to use
the new system.

And in case you missed it, AVweb’s Paul Bertorelli issued his own assessment
http://www.avweb.com/blogs/insider/Report-Card-on-FAAs-Drone-Registration-225371-1.html
of the new drone-registration plan
http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/FAA-Drone-Rule-Released-225367-1.html
last week.

VIENNA — The international ski federation is banning camera drones from its
World Cup races after one of the flying objects crashed and nearly hit Austrian
skier Marcel Hirscher during a slalom in Italy.

FIS will prohibit drones "as long as I am responsible ... because they are a
bad thing for safety," men's race director Markus Waldner told The Associated
Press on Wednesday, a day after the night race in Madonna di Campiglio.

"It was huge luck that Marcel was not hurt," Waldner said. "I am very angry."

The drone carrying a TV camera came down and shattered on the icy slope just
behind Hirscher, a few seconds after the Olympic silver medalist started his
second run.

The company responsible for the drone, sports marketing agency Infront, said
its initial investigation "indicates a malfunction of the drone."

"The most likely reason is a strong and unforeseen interference on the
operating frequency, leading to limited operability," Infront said in a
statement. "The pilot followed the official security procedure, purposely
flying the drone as close as possible to the ground before releasing it. The
aim was to destroy the drone, in order to prevent it from losing control."

Hirscher was unhurt and continued his run, finishing second behind Norwegian
winner Henrik Kristoffersen.

"I didn't know what it was, but I felt something," the four-time overall World
Cup champion said. "I thought it was a course worker behind me, or a gate."

Course workers slip through the gates shortly after each skier to smooth the
snow surface for the next competitor.

"I am very relieved that nothing happened," Hirscher said. "You don't want to
think about what could have happened when 10 kilograms (22 pounds) are coming
down 20 meters (65 feet). That would have been a very serious, bad injury.
There are a lot of cool things nowadays. But you have to guarantee the safety —
and that was just insane."

Infront said the drone and its pilot were provided by a third party, adding
that an external independent expert will formally investigate the matter.

"We are extremely relieved that apparently none was hurt," said Infront, a
Switzerland-based agency that has been the long-term TV rights holder of the
FIS Alpine skiing World Cup.

According to Waldner, FIS had agreed on the use of the drone at Tuesday's
slalom but the pilot wasn't allowed to fly the camera directly over the race
course.

"He did not follow our instructions," the race director said. "He had to fly
outside of the race track and follow the racer from a 15-meter (50-foot)
distance. Then there would have been a margin and nothing could have happened."

Drones have been used many times before at ski races. The ski federation said
the technology was aimed at enhancing the experience for TV viewers as it
provides moving pictures from an overhead angle which regular cameras can't
shoot.

FIS said legal restrictions in Italy for the use of drones at events are not as
tight as in many other countries, such as Austria and Switzerland, where flying
over a crowd has been banned.
