Win a DJI Mavic Mini 2 By Enrolling in Our Thanksgiving Giveaway, Lay Offs at Amazon Prime Air, Arizona Drone Pilot Questioned for Filming the BLM Movement, Latest Updates on the Drone Delivery Industry

Our biggest story for today is about drone deliveries and Amazon Prime Air. Archaic drone laws have acted as huge a deterrent as the drone delivery industry as a whole has simply failed to take off.

Many industry stakeholders had false hopes that things would take a turn for the better when Amazon Prime Air finally got permission to make drone deliveries under Part 135.

However, the latest turn of events indicates otherwise as Amazon Prime Air has laid off hundreds of employees.

Jeff Bezos famously commented in 2013 that drone delivery shall be commonplace in 5 years. But does this latest event indicate that we are still a long way off from that day?

Apparently, as the next story indicates, as far as the drone delivery industry is concerned, things are far more progressive in other countries. F-drones became the first-ever company to make night drone delivery in Singapore.

You also do not want to miss out on the last story which is about our awesome Thanksgiving giveaway. That's right folks. Drone U and DroneXL have teamed up to organize a one-of-a-kind massive giveaway.

Valued at a massive $14,000, this takeaway includes drones, gimbals, ND filters, courses, flight school passes, and much, much more…2020 has kind of sucked. And this is our way of helping those who love to fly. So, what are you waiting for? Click this link to enroll in the giveaway NOW!

Today's quesiton is about drone remote id and micro-drones like the DJI Mavic Mini 2.

Our caller for today, Adam has a question about Remote ID. If you are a regular ADU listener, you might be aware of this contentious issue that will greatly impact the drone industry as a whole.

Now, Adam is wondering if he needs to comply with these restrictive remote-id rules at all if he flies a micro-drone weighing less than 250 grams.

DJI recently launched the DJI Mavic Mini 2 which comes with 4K capabilities and Occusync. Additionally, as per industry rumors, their soon-to-be-released FPV drone shall weigh less than 250 grams as well.

So, will these new remote id rules be applicable to drone pilots flying these sub-250 gram micro drones? Do Part 107 rules apply to drone pilots who are flying these micro-drones for commercial purposes?

Tune in to find out. Thanks for the great questIon, Adam. Fly Safe!
