@droneanalyst @DJIAgriculture Interesting l, I haven’t seen XAG on any of the exemption requests.

@dronelaws Agree on a lot of this. Burdensome regulations + no enforcement + no legal option = low rate of compliance. We showed the Mavic Mini (1) is Cat 1 compliant without guards even. The flimsy props just don’t do enough damage. Many want those blades covered tho

@MossPhotography @dronelaws That’s why you leave the prop guards off. Lightweight folding props don’t do much damage.

@droneanalyst We’ll be writing about this in our next issue of Advanced Drone Digest! It’s got a lot in common with the American Robotics approval from earlier this year.

@droneanalyst This is precisely why network ID was left out of current RID.

Spoiler alert… the tech isn’t as mature as industry marketing would make you believe.

One of the most common misconceptions for Category 1 Operations Over People is that the drone must have propeller guards equipped. This is wrong. The FAA issued performance-based regulations, not prescriptive regs. Learn more at ADO - https://t.co/obEnArygtU #drones #UAS #micro

California always leads the waiver totals due to sheer population size, but ND and MD punch above their weight. Companies like @FM_FCX and @insideFPL lead the charge for individual companies. Read more waiver insights in ADO's 2020 Waiver Analysis: https://t.co/PH7ZHqmwNY
