Comment Re:Jam drone frequencies? (Score 1) 176

This is not a technology problem.

The sale of RC aircraft may need to further regulation. So far it's been mostly a self regulated process through the AMA helping RC pilots follow safety procedures and comply with FAA rules. But most hobby shops will sell you anything you want without checking for an AMA card, but some of them do at least mention it to those new to RC.

A callsign, license and test, like done in HAM radio, seems like the obvious solution to me. Hobbyists need to understand the rules and be liable when they break them.

It's been self regulating until recently. RC pilots generally belong to the AMA and the rules for the AMA include putting your name and address inside your aircraft.

Theoretically the AMA also provides insurance for the pilots, but I don't think anyone has ever been able to collect on that in 50 years.
