None needed. That drone operates on a completely different regulatory level than the one that hit the helicopter in TX. Now if all drones operated at that same level, like the search and rescue drones in the same areas, then we wouldn't even be having this conversation. So perhaps all drones should operate at this same level. No?
And while there hasn’t been a death due to a recreational drone its more a matter of when and not if, and you have any understanding of how the relationship between close calls and accidents works in aviation.
