Should You Give a Drone Gift?
Published on: December 13, 2015
Drones, quad copters and other unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) are definitely the IN gift this year. The FAA predicts one million of them will be given as presents in the U.S. and is working with drone industry leaders to craft new regulations. When a YouTube user who claimed to be a 16-year old tourist from Canada posted videos showing flights over Space Mountain at the Magic Kingdom, and buzzing less than 100 feet over the heads of visitors at Universal CityWalk he was told he had broken the law. While he removed his video from the site, similar videos on YouTube show Disneyland fireworks at night captured from drones flying within restricted air space.
SHOULD YOU GIVE A DRONE GIFT? Here are some things to consider>
- New, upcoming laws may require licensing for use of many UAS.
- Does your homeowners insurance cover injuries and damage caused by drones your family owns?
