Good info and news Part 107

The kicker to this NPRM is there is currently no approved, certified device for the transmission of flight data. There are no tech documents or designs specifically targeting device implementation, not are there any documents describing exactly who will be collecting data or how and where it will stored.

Because of that any FAA cost estimates are worthless as you cannot estimate a cost for a service that does not exist. Worse, private business and corporations will be developing competing hard and software for incorporation in the FAA regulatory structure. As development will be privately funded, bot public, there is no way to control the cost of product or service.

Look at the situation like health insurance and prescription drugs. Both are government regulated in many ways but cost is not controlled at all, while the cost of both increases by 3 or more times the rate of inflation every year. Privatizing a drone ATC system will most certainly price most people out of participating. RID is nothing more than a government mandated corporate cash cow. Implementation of this NPRM will RID our airspace of consumer drones.

We are definitely on the same wavelength PatR! At least all of the ATC facilities for manned flight are supported by the tax payers AFAIK.
 
‘In the years to come, when this is final, required and enforced......judging by Yuneec’s past, I’d expect them to market a new aircraft for at least $2500......turning their back on existing customers and product.

Of course....maybe that won’t happen.....
They might be asking for a class action lawsuit if that did happen though....
