License ehh? That sounds expensive.

New regs were supposed to be in place for the new year, but ya know... moving at the speed of Government.

So initial rules are going to be for commercial drone pilots, and once they are in place they will review 'other' possibles. Most recent news I found, end of last year:

Quote:

The Wall Street Journal reports that the FAA will require commercial drone operators to have a pilot's license and restrict flight times to daylight hours. The new rules will also limit flights to the pilot's line of sight and altitude to 400-feet. The really bad news is that these rules won't just apply for big Predator-sized drones. They'll apply to any unmanned aircraft under 55 pounds. That would include small, affordable, easy-to-fly drones like the DJI Phantom line and the new Parrot Bebop.
