Drone News: Whitehouse Seeks More Power over Drones, DJI Inspire 3, New FLIR, Pilot Institute Wiki

This week in drone news; The Whitehouse has released an action
plan calling for more power to regulate drones in and around
sensitive locations, DJI Inspire 3 leaks, a new FLIR camera, and
our newly released Pilot Institute Wiki!





The presidential administration is calling on congress to expand
authority of both federal and local governments to take action
against drones.


This action plan calls for expanding fed and local agencies that
can track/monitor drones “flying in their airspace”.


It also involves creating a ground system to detect drones that
can be used by federal/local governments.


“adopt legislation to close critical gaps in existing law and
policy that currently impede government and law enforcement from
protecting the American people and our vital security interests.”


This plan also involves allowing counter UAS operations for
certain authorities.

We know you guys have trouble finding a single resource for local
drone regulations.


Over the last few months, we have been working hard to create a
source that you can edit and update.


We just released our new wiki page which contains not only all
the local drone regulations but suggestions for places to fly
locally. 


The best part is, we want your contribution to telling us where
you love to fly in your state, as well as any other drone laws we
didn’t find.


Up and down vote locations to fly


Submit a photo and suggest places to fly


Submit new or updated regulation


The Phoenix page is the perfect example of what we will achieve
for the rest of the country. 


Check it out at pilotinstitute.com/drones


We’ve also launched Facebook groups for each state! 


This is to help you network and get into your local UAS
community.


This is a perfect place to organize meetups and learn about the
local regulations and fight existing or new drone laws (alongside
organizations like DSPA).
