I watched a guy at the Sydenham community kite festival on Sunday come in and set up his DJI Phantom complete with FPV goggles and range extender, only to fly within 3 miles of a helicopter landing area, amongst kite strings, over a public event with 200+ young children, within 30 metres of a person and using First Person View goggles / not line of sight contrary to the regulations.
I'm all for not needing over regulation and rules in aviation, particularly for hobbies, however the message doesn't appear to be getting through no matter how hard CASA tries. I feel as though it's heading down the path of recreational boat licences, where the only way to stop someone flying is to make them get a licence so that it can be taken off them if needed.
