Open consultation Drone legislation: use, restrictions and enforcement

Was just about to post ……

===============================

Fellow drone enthusiast,

We need your support in helping to protect the rights of the drone community. The last few years have been a really exciting time in the advancement of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) or, as we like to call them, drones but important decisions lie ahead.

Recently, the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) was granted power by the European Parliament and Member States to introduce a European set of rules, which will affect how and where you can use your drone. The draft regulation is currently undergoing final negotiation at EU level, but some countries are considering additional regulations that don’t fit so easily with EASA rules. Here is where you come in.

We are now helping start the Network of Drone Enthusiasts (NODE) in Europe, an international grassroots group dedicated to representing the interests of responsible drone pilots, and we’d like you to get involved and be heard. The group will speak with one collaborative voice to local and regional legislators, guiding them in developing effective rules and regulations that not only protect public safety but encourage the enjoyment and benefits of drone technology.

Just a small investment of your time will play a big role in protecting your rights and the rights of fellow drone owners and pilots.

Join the Network of Drone Enthusiasts today by:

  • Taking just 30 seconds to sign up on the website here.
  • Following NODE’s Facebook and Twitter accounts for the latest news.
  • Spreading the word about NODE with friends and fellow enthusiasts across the country.

Anyone who supports the advancement of drone technology is invited to join NODE.

Working together, we can help ensure that fair and consistent regulations will preserve our right to fly drones.

Sincerely,

DJI
