Man börjar ana vart det är på väg ute i världen för att hantera dessa idioter. Kanada har en öppen och transparent flygsäkerhetsorganisation med sunda idéer som vill försöka lösa detta på ett bra sätt. Och det finns ett samarbete med USA, Australien och säkert flera länder att få till internationella regler. Vilket alternativ tycker du är bäst?
Kanadas alternativ 1 att man måste vara med i en modellflygorganisation för att flyga privat verkar mer tilltalande än andra alternativet att förbjuda privat flygfotografering. Något för RCFF/SMFF att lobba för mot transportstyrelsen tycker jag. Intressant att notera i alternativ 2 att FPV inte är flygfotografering och skulle vara tillåtet! Dessutom tycker jag man skulle kunna ha en viktgräns upp till förslagsvis 0,5 kg där FPV spotter/dubbelkommando inte krävs.

| MODEL AIRCRAFT The objective of this portion of the proposed rulemaking activity is to define a regulatory approach that will allow traditional modellers to continue to conduct safe flight activities. While the proposed rule is intended to establish requirements for safely operating UAV systems in Canadian airspace, there is a model aircraft component to this rulemaking activity. The rule proposes to address UAVs used for any and all purposes and intends to provide a "carve-out" for modellers operating within an aeromodelling organization that allows the continued activities (sport/ recreation and competition) that model aircraft enthusiasts have enjoyed for decades. As such, the proposal is to only better define what constitutes a model aircraft and to that end Transport Canada is inviting feedback on the following proposed solutions. Approach 1: To provide a means to recognize aeromodelling organizations, such as the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC), that have a proven safety record, a mature piloting community and provide a well established set of safety guidelines. For example, persons - launching model aircraft for recreational purposes who are members in good standing of an aeromodelling organization and operate under its safety guidelines would not be required to meet the requirements of the proposed rule. - not participating in the safety program established by an aeromodelling organization would no longer be considered to be operating model aircraft and would have to comply with the proposed rule for UAV operations. Approach 2: Transport Canada may consider model aircraft equipped with a camera payload, excluding first person view (FPV) devices to no longer be a model aircraft, but a UAV, and subject to the UAV rules. The rationale is that persons using the aircraft to take pictures or videos would in fact be conducting surveillance or collecting data, so launching the aircraft for a secondary purpose (e.g. as a flying camera) other than recreational flying only. Transport Canada is seeking comments on the two proposed options, to include alternative recommendation or a combination of the two approaches listed above. It remains the objective of this portion of the proposed rulemaking activity to define a regulatory approach that will allow the continued safe conduct of the flight activities currently undertaken by traditional modellers. |
