Before the year is out the FAA is expected to issue a new set of rules that governs drones in America. On CNN’s ‘State of the Union’, FAA head Michael Huerta said this on the reason for the new rules,
“The thing that we are most concerned about is to ensure that any aircraft in this system do not come into conflict with one another.”
According to the National Transportation Safety Board the FAA has the authority to apply the “reckless or careless” standard. Huerta notes there have been hundreds of cases,
“..where we have seen someone operating one of these things carelessly or recklessly, posing a danger to aircraft.”
The new rules will be specific to craft 55-pounds or under.
