McDoo - Three big difference compared to the rest of the flying world, here in la la land.
Drones are cheaper than push bikes.
Drones can be flown by anyone with a modicum of co-ordination.
Drones will proliferate in their hundreds if not thousands.
All of this will leave the CAA on the back foot - big time. They are massively understaffed currently and looking at further cutbacks. They are reducing their audit frequency's. They don't have a department that is proactive. They 'react' weeks if not months after the event.
Something very very sinister is going to happen before the Authorities wake up to the problems associated with drone ops.
Rules and regs are for ethical operators remember.
The CAA really have absolutely NO idea how to handle this new threat.......and it will become a threat.
