What are we talking about?
The Modellflugsport in Germany is endangered. Due to the accumulated reports on remote Multikopter, often colloquially referred to as "drones", new regulations are to be adopted, which endanger the Modellflugsport strong. And thus the hobby of hundreds of thousands of people across Germany.
What motives lead to the Minister of Transport?
- "The aeromodelling endangering civil aviation"
- "A general flight height limit on 100 meter is useful for security reasons."
- "Multicopter boom require new legislation."
Is that correct?
- In the past two years only 12 incidents were reported. All violations represent unique Gesetzesverletungen and should be strictly punished. It may be doubted that the perpetrators a general altitude limitation discourages your deeds.
- This is wrong. Should something unforeseen happen that pilots have more time to get your model back under control.
- The statutory provisions governing already, what should be observed when operating Multikoptern. The privacy rights are adequately protected by existing regulations. An increase in accidents is not for verzeichen.
What doth the initiative Pro model airplanes?
