Hahahaha what a piece of drivel.

Tell us all how the drone can "see and avoid" once again or don't those rules apply to the drone?

Helicopters were there first and UAV's are the new kids on the block - as far as I am aware they are the ones that need the "restricted airspace" and normally do.
How come you never see NOTAMS for helicopters flying around yet the NOTAMS are thick with DROTAMS?

There are reasons for UAV rules that are far more restrictive than for normal aircraft - any driverless cars in Surrey yet or only the one belonging to the village idiot?

PS Baja is in the California Peninsula in Mexico.

Mexican drone laws -

General Mexico Drone Laws

Drone use is allowed in Mexico, but there are several drone laws that need to be followed when flying in the country. Operators must ensure that they follow the following drone laws when flying in Mexico,
  • Do not fly your drone over people or large crowds
  • Respect others privacy when flying your drone
  • Do not fly your drone over airports or in areas where aircraft are operating
  • You must fly during daylight hours and only fly in good weather conditions
  • Do not fly your drone in sensitive areas including government or military facilities. Use of drones or camera drones in these areas are prohibited.
  • Watch for any signs posted around many popular tourist attractions that notify you of “no drone zones”
  • Check with the hotel you will be staying at to see if you can fly it there – many hotels ban drones to ensure their guests have privacy and are not disturbed by drones in the air
  • Flying drones over 2kg requires a permit
  • Try and carry receipts for your drone when carrying it into the country to avoid being charged VAT on the equipment
