I am absolutely too tired to post the entire message of what happened today between myself and the faa, i truly cannot believe the change of heart we saw today after we worked with them. I will be posting a video to show a little proof of the unbelievably amazing change of heart. Its funny there is a clear separation of ideology between certain sects, of the faa. I will be posting the footage tomorrow (hopefully), but after we had finished about 3.5 hours of filming, they were so impressed they asked us for footage to showcase the safe use and promotion of a positive response to the beta test that they ran. This was an faa sanctioned event, we were allowed to fly under the ama, thanks to mike harrington for making that possible. (He doesnt work for the faa). These people are human just like you and i, i think one of the wise old pilots said it best today, it is easier for them (the faa) to say no to a new technology when they dont understand the technology. They will always say yes when they end up seeing and loving the technology if used in the right way. But the long story short, i met the guy who drafted a set of regulations, and got to hear some really honest opinions (although not official). Fact of the matter is this, the FAA is clearly after one main goal: safety. When someone doesnt fully understand drones then how can they make legitimate rules and regulations to certify pilots? Great question. We were told the wheels are turning and they havent seen this much attention in decades. You should expect that some sort of law will happen by end of next year. But it may take 4-5 years to really get into place. At the end of the day, the faa does not work for us... The really work for congress. We were told if we want something done we need to work with our congressmen, if we want to have our voices heard. Sounds pretty similiar to how the highschool history books say how congress works. I did hear about the lawsuits today, GREAT JOB PETER. I was also told that will, most likely, speed up this process. I will publish the coa in the footage so everyone can see. Im not completely full of shit. Cheers guys, stay positive, we will in the end...get what we want. Dont forget, tomorrow is the faa forum where we will be speaking, on integration.. The feed is going to be live on rmairshow i hope you guys chine in and represent the legitimacy, classy side of uav pilots that will make a difference in the world through responsible flight and incredible footage!
