The thing is yes, drone has 1-to-1 connection with RC and transmits data, including current position. This is most likely unencrypted connection, it can be hacked to ears drop or take full control of the drone. There are companies which sell such equipment. (It was in the news a few years back) But.. this is specific for each manufacturer and drone model. I'm sure such equipment is used for high-security targets. Most aircrafts do not have it, that's why standard transmitter is needed.my "understanding", the AC already transmits the information since i have it displayed on the RC/smart device. seems "law enforcement", with some OEM SW tweaks could have all the same info. Gov'mnt being Gov'mnt needs to add more ^&** to impress the boss, efficiency be damned
Question: do new rules make exceptions for old and DIY drones? They were in proposal, not sure about final version.
Would be nice to the list of 'free' zones available to public, not just club members.
