Industry Voices Its Protest Against Remote ID NPRM, Impact of Coronavirus on Drone Industry, Drone Pilot Arrested for Flying in “No-Drone Zone” before Superbowl, Drone Search and Rescue, DJI Matrice 300 & Autel Evo 2 Delayed, New Certification for Drone Delivery Providers

We start this show by sharing some important updates about the Remote ID NPRM. While the entire drone community is coming together to voice their protest against this restrictive proposal, on the other hand, companies like Airmap are supporting this proposal. Should you be using Airmap when they are putting their weight behind this NPRM which could murder the commercial and hobby drone industry?

In more Remote ID NPRM news, you will learn about the protest that FPV pilots have organized on February 29th at FAA HQ, Washington DC. As a responsible member of the drone community, we urge you to join them in this protest. You can also submit a well-thought-out comment by clicking here. The commenting deadline for the Remote ID NPRM is March 2, 2020.

Our next story is about the Coronavirus outbreak. First, we reveal how the Chinese government is using drones to combat this deadly virus. Then we go to discuss the far-reaching impact of this virus on drone manufacturers. Will this virus outbreak delay the launch of eagerly-awaited products like DJI Matrice 300 and Autel Evo 2?

Other topics discussed on this show are new certification for drone delivery providers, drone search and rescue, and implications of flying a drone in a “No-Drone Zone”. For all this and much, much more, tune in to our latest show now. Fly Safe!
