It makes too much sense, which must be the actual reason the FAA declined that option. 
Their stated reason was that they couldn't guarantee the database of the AMA wouldn't have errors or duplicate numbers. As if various government agency databases are all that accurate. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile I would trust the currency of the AMA database long before I would this FAA one. Who is going to update their address with the FAA for their toys? |

Quoted:
If you put your name and address on the drone, instead of in a registration database, they would be able to trace the owner a lot faster than having to first enter a number into a computer to pull up the same name and address. And in the event thee drone gets sucked into a jet engine and destroyed along with all traces of the name and address, a registration number would certainly be destroyed as well. Either way, you have no way of tracing the owner. Which one makes more sense and costs taxpayers less? What penalties are in place if they don't put their name and address on the drone under your suggestion? Quoted:
...... as for you pilots, life is risky. deal with it. That's one of the most retarded things I keep seeing posted here There are some people here who seem to think that nothing should ever ben done to take steps to minimize dangers and issues on any topic Mitigate your own risks. Don't limit what others are allowed to do based on what you choose to do. Life's hard, get a helmet. Next time I'm at work, I'll mention that to the 140 people sitting behind me. I doubt they would share your opinion. If people had acted responsibly with their "toys" we wouldn't be here. And that's the same issue we deal with fighting gun control!! How many of these RC things are out there? What is the percentage of people that use them responsibly vs the amount of people that don't? I don't own any RC stuff,but am vehemently against any kind of registration.

Registration Proponents...how do you square the corners on Ultralight aircraft?
- Ultralight vehicles and their component parts and equipment are not required to meet the airworthiness certification standards specified for aircraft or to have certificates of airworthiness. - Operators of ultralight vehicles are not required to meet any aeronautical knowledge, age, or experience requirements or to have airman or medical certificates. - Ultralight vehicles are not required to be registered or to have registration markings. Part 103 of the FAA Regulations exempt all aircraft under 254 lbs (commonly called Ultralight aircraft) from registration...or even the need for a pilot's license! Which posses a greater risk to public safety? |

Which posses a greater risk to public safety? Someone flying an ultralight probably has a minimal grasp of aviation rules and principals. If they dont gravity and inertia usualy weed them out pretty quick. When I was in ground school we had a guy decide he wanted to be an auto-gyro pilot. He lasted a few minutes. http://www.ntsb.gov/_layouts/ntsb.aviation/brief.aspx?ev_id=20001211X10309&key=1&queryId=e9388218-270f-4e5c-b04b-9f1ce7744881&pgno=2&pgsize=100 A 4 year old can fly a DJI. Not saying you can not do damage with an ultralight (the guy above trashed a hanger) but you are a lot more cautious when your life is on the line. Wth a toy your give-a-shit is only based on the cost to fix it if you crash. |

When the drone registry system is modified to permit public searches of registration numbers, names and addresses will be revealed through those searches.” My kid's getting a quad for Christmas, it's his and he'll be the owner. So my 13 y.o. will have his information publicly searchable on their database? Nice. I've worked too hard to keep my kids anonymous on the internet and protect their identity, and I'm not about to give it out to the public for some pedo to look for. I guess in this case, the lesser of two evils is to let him be a felon. He won't be registering, nor will I. It's for the children. Isn't that the buzzword that they like to say when passing laws? Well, in this case, it's NOT for the children. So back at them with that.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I wasn't aware that flying RC drones was a Constitutional right. Maybe that was one of those amendments that never got approved when they passed the first 10 So. I guess NOT the same after all. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: And that's the same issue we deal with fighting gun control!! How many of these RC things are out there? What is the percentage of people that use them responsibly vs the amount of people that don't? I don't own any RC stuff,but am vehemently against any kind of registration. I wasn't aware that flying RC drones was a Constitutional right. Maybe that was one of those amendments that never got approved when they passed the first 10 So. I guess NOT the same after all. I'd say the 10th covers it |

Didn't you know protesting the government is patriotic? Why do you hate freedom and patriotism? It's only patriotic when Nancy Pelosi advocates for it, and when performed by Democrats.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I think this is a good move. These things are dangerous and intrusive. I support increased restrictions to include height and distance limits from operators, prohibitions on recording equipment unless for approved commercial flights, and law enforcement kill switches. These things are far too common now. Very dangerous, plus the buzzing noise is annoying. They aren't protected by the constitution either, so no real obstacles to enacting some common sense restrictions and regulations. Trump 2016 Are you okay with restrictions on Internet usage, and banning "subversive or counter-revolutionary websites"? Are you okay with restrictions on the media, since they cause far more damage and loss of life than some piddly RC plane. Better register your camera too, since they can be abused. Phones should have restrictions on them too, since criminals use them. See the point? BTW, none of them were around when the Constitution was enacted, just like RC planes, so the Constitution shouldn't apply to them either. See how retarded your stance can look when taken to a logical extreme? For the record, I don't own any of those evil baby-killing, regime threatening devices of mass destruction that we need another bunch of regulations over. |

Quote HistoryMeanwhile....this is what the airspace looks like for all the other operators of aircraft: 
Pretty much every line/dash/magenta bubble is indicating some level and/or type of controlled or restricted airspace. ETA: For reference, the large red circle is over DC and the large metro area northeast of that (underneath "Enroute L-34") is Philly. |
