The big news today is that the F.A.A. announced that virtually all drone owners are going to have to register in a national database. This is big news considering this astounding factoid:
One Million Drones are expected to be sold during the Holiday Season
according to this post in Fortune Magazine
As we discussed in a previous Holiday Drone Buying Post , this has big implications for a lot of people but is probably a necessary thing considering how popular these have become. I think most owners and operators of unmanned aircraft and drones do want some kind of regulation although the words ‘national database’ seem to make many people nervous.
Drone Owners after Dec. 21st will be required to register before their first flight
This is big deal considering the holidays and Christmas are coming up and this date was mentioned in and NYT article recently . Will this mean that a buying rush to get new drones before the deadline date happens? Guess we will all have to wait and see.
