Hobbyist Pilots to Use LAANC, Kittyhawk B4UFLY App, Drone Shoot Down, DJI Geofencing in Asia-Pacific, Oil Spill in Canada, NYC Drone Film Festival, SAR in Fremont

In this week's drone news, our first big story is about a new FAA law which mandates that hobbyist pilots use LAANC as well. Until now, there have been many hobby pilots who have not been notifying the ATC before flying in controlled airspace. So, is this new law a step in the right direction? Also, we discuss the timely launch of Kittyhawk's Dynamic Airspace platform and the B4UFLY app which will allow commercial AND hobbyist pilots to use LAANC.

Next, we share details of another drone shoot down story. A pilot searching for a missing dog in Long Island had his drone shot down. Will the shooter face a federal investigation? Is the DOJ adopting a tough stance to prevent such acts from occurring in the future?

Our next big story is about an oil spill near St. Lazare, Canada. Early Saturday morning, a train carrying crude oil derailed and resulted in this oil spill. The extent of this spill was discovered thanks to two drone pilots who posted their aerial footage to social media. Will the frozen ground prevent oil seepage and hence, limit environmental damage?

We also share some exciting details about upcoming events like the FAA Symposium and the NYC Drone Film Festival. Other topics discussed include DJI Geofencing in Asia-Pacific and a successful search and rescue effort in Fremont. Tune in now!

How Do I Accurately Map an Area with Dense Vegetation?

In today's show, you will learn why LiDAR is your best bet for creating a bare earth model of an area with dense vegetation.

Our caller, Cody wishes to survey a 20-acre property with dense foliage. He is wondering if he can generate an accurate map by using photogrammetry and Aeropoints. To answer Cody's question, we first discuss the difference between photogrammetry, a passive technology; and LiDAR, an active technology.

Will using LiDAR result in significant time savings when it comes to data acquisition and post-processing? Also, how much area can you map in a single day using a LiDAR unit? And, is it true that a LiDAR unit costs a small fortune? We also discuss the cost of renting a LiDAR unit and reveal why it is such an attractive proposition. You will also learn how MEMS technology might make LiDAR more affordable in the future.

Also, watch out for Cody's response to ADU 921- Can I Build a Profitable Drone Business by Providing Services to the Agriculture Industry?.

In today’s episode, we talk about the Uniform Law Commission (ULC) and their work on the “Tort Law Relating to Drones Act.”

Vic joins Rob for this significant and animated discussion. ULC first proposed the "Tort Law Relating to Drones Act" in March of 2018. Back then, we analyzed this proposed Bill in great detail and revealed how the passage of this Bill would have severely restricted airspace, making commercial drone operations nearly impossible. Fortunately, this first draft was scrapped.

ULC just released their second draft after making some significant modifications to the first one. In this show, we pour over the fine print and reveal the pros & cons of this new proposed Bill. How does this Bill define an "aircraft intrusion"? And, what qualifies as a "land intrusion"? Would you be intruding on private land if you have to make an emergency landing? And, does this proposed bill attempt to curtail overly aggressive behavior from the landowner? You will also learn how this proposed bill treats “privacy violations” and “negligent behavior.”

The ULC is meeting in March to consider some important modifications to this proposed Bill. How can you contribute to this process? After going through the proposed bill, you can email your suggestions to [email protected]. Please address your email to Paul Kurtz, Chair, Tort Law Relating to Drones Act Committee or Anita Ramasastry, President, ULC.
