That's reasonable, but I think it shows that different people have different ideas of what constitutes a public space. Is "ten feet above my back garden" a public space? Is "ten feet to one side of my cockpit" a public space?
No point starting an arms race, just limit the right of use to professional purposes requiring such laborious, thorough and costly training that the amateur would have to be a loony to pay for it...and if he was a loony, he wouldn't be allowed one.
Failing that, I bet one could make a barrage-screen with helium party-balloons and dental floss.
If that were the case you'd be able to come up with more useful words than this. As it stands I've reported the post since it adds nothing to the thread but unpleasantness.
You have ahead start on all of us there. Whenever you post.
Not sure what your point is? I know the rules, I have a licence, and I quoted them.
"Are drones the new jetskis?"
It might be fun to use a drone (or a whole flock of drones) to "buzz" jetskiers who plague quiet mooring areas.
Newspaper headline (with or without misprint): "Jetskier droned".
It's well known that people find the noise of light aircraft engines exceptionally annoying - even though they can be quite quiet there is something about the changing pitch and volume which really irritates. As a result, aerobatic pilots are advised to move around when practising and glider tug pilots try to vary their flight paths as much as they can. I suspect that the propeller noise of a drone has the same psychological effect, quite apart from the distasteful invasion of privacy.
In the course of a dispute with a roofing contractor who had done shoddy work I had a survey of my roof carried out by a drone operated by a professional. Before the survey I spoke to all my neighbours about it and none objected. I offered to let them see the footage if they wanted.
