cnoe Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Interesting development. http://fortune.com/2015/10/16/drones-register-department-of-transportation/ I'm  okay with registration. That way I'll know who to send the repair bill to if one smacks into my J. And I'm pretty sure that "drones" aren't protected under the 2nd amendment.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Posted October 19, 2015 Report Share Posted October 19, 2015 Assuming the drone doesn't take out a control surface! Can those little buggers go fast enough to hit your Mooney from behind? Sure, the military models with jet engines can, but not the little multi-rotor ones that are proliferating like mosquitoes in a puddle. Even going full throttle upwards, I would think there's enough airflow with our planes that they could not hit an aileron or elevator, and I'm pretty sure our wakes would keep them away from the rudder if going full throttle perpendicular to our course.

He spoke with the A&P IA and pilot involved with this event. For whatever reason, George has not elected to report any additional information back to this forum. When the time comes and they have enough information, I am hopeful he will follow up with all of us. Tim We did follow up but the pilot did not want to speak on the record. Â Not much we can do if those involved won't step forward Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
