Go buy a plane and complain about all those pesky flight restrictions.
2 comments

Your plane will fly anywhere you, the pilot, command it to. The enforcement of NFZ is done by the pilot, not the equipment.

I am complaining about the equipment, not the NFZ. You would, too, if your aircraft ignored control inputs under certain opaque, manufacturer-supplied (and signed) network-updated conditions.

The hardware’s job is to obey the operator. The operator’s job is to obey the law.

I know!! As a student pilot I have zero issues with the drone flight restrictions. It's easy to trivialize the rules as a drone pilot, but in an airplane, hitting a drone could be life and death.
