I am curious why you think that. How does having a camera change things? How do you define a camera? What if it is a analog camera barely able to view an NTSC signal, like those used in most FPV drones? What if that drone with a camera is 25g? What does having a transponder on such a device do for safety? What if that "camera" is a FLIR camera?

One of the many issues with this proposal is that it does not allow you to have a small transponder added to your aircraft. It basically makes all existing rc aircraft unflyable legally. You must buy a pre-approved by the FAA complete aircraft. You are not allowed to build a model from parts of your choosing.

Also there are many aspects of the model aircraft and drone hobby that would be seriously hindered by a transponder and gps unit. For example drone racing. They have absolutely no need for that hardware and it would significantly impact their races. And if you are a part 107 pilot flying a 20g drone, how are you going to add a gps, transponder, internet connection, etc. to that tiny drone to comply with this regulation? All that extra hardware is more than the weight of the drone.

This proposal from the FAA is so full of issues, nuances, and outright wrong information, it is almost impossible to have a discussion about it :(

"For starters, a huge number of assumptions are being made, such as about the possibility that approved flying sites will decrease, etc" This is not true. The NPRM specifically states that over time the number of approved sites (FRIA's) is designed to decrease. They can only be requested for 12 months after the regulation goes into effect and you are not allowed to request more and the FAA can remove them at any time.

" It just means they need a transponder on them" Not exactly true either. You must purchase a new UAS with remote ID built in according to the NPRM. There is no transponder you can buy. It has to be preinstalled in your aircraft and tamper resistant. That means no more home built drones or model aircraft built from parts of your choosing.

"Finally, out of all 4 drone owners I know, every single one has knowingly broken rules." Out of the 100 people who I know drive automobiles, every single one of them has broken the rules.

"It doesn't affect tiny drones less than 0.5lbs." Not entirely true either. Anyone flying under part 107 ( that includes people reviewing 20g tiny whoops in their back yard for their YouTube channel ) must register all drones no matter how small. That means if you fly under part 107 even sub 250g drones must comply with the remote ID proposal.

And finally, the privacy risks are real. Myself any many other model aircraft operators have been threatened with physical harm while flying completely legally. Broadcasting the location of the operator to anyone around the world is a serious invasion of privacy and will result in someone getting killed or seriously injured. Which, by the way, has never happened from the recreational use of multi-rotor drones ever.

So please, if you are going to speak out in favor of this regulation, at least read and understand all 300+ pages of it.
