I was listening to the instructors ,how to become drone pilot in S.A. What a joke! My first question is can I now fly a light aircraft with this licence. It looks to fit a proper pilot licence. What is the difference between flying 40 meter or 80 meter, to have a medical test, a radio test and all the other lectures you have to go through? Why must I have a preflight list? Why must I no how the weather is like. The drone pilot will no when to fly in any windy conditions! If he ignre that, he can loose his craft. No concern to CAA! Why are the CAA concerned if you fly and make money or not. That should be the concern of SARS. I have to prove to a aircraft pilot instructor that I can fly a drone. Most of the drones fly with minimum pilot input. I fly Radio controled aircraft since 1980. Now I have to prove that I can fly a drone, please people. My grand child is flying since he were 8. I bought my Mavic pro more than 2 years back, without any concern to fly for fun. Now suddenly with the new CAA laws, I cant take airshots for my grand childs birthday, because I cant flew over people! CAA are their for a reason. Which is much more important than to listen to somebodies complain about somebody flying his drone. Please try to understand that we just want to enjoy our hobby. People must take responsibility for entering the space where other aircraft are flying too! If they ignore that , they will be prosecuted. Please, if you can answer my concerned questions. Like to be inlighted!
Salute my friend. We are pretty well not in control of ourselves but need big daddy to put everyone in place. I will get one maybe and fly in areas where no life exists.😂.
