Part of what I find frustrating about this administration is that I normally might have been willing to give the government the benefit of the doubt, no matter which party was in charge, that due diligence had been done by professional civil servants before making that decision, but I can no longer trust anything that it does.

Giving everyone the ability to fly beyond visual sight isn’t the important thing that’s happening here.
This is:
The proposal also includes updated requirements for manufacturers, operators, and drone traffic-management services to keep BVLOS drones safely separated from each other and from manned aircraft.
It sounds like they’re preparing to federally mandate some kinds of equipment on drones.
That could be a bad thing for the DIY drone community… or any drone manufacturer who can’t pass federal inspections because some executive takes a personal interest in the outcome.
