Now that Multirotor Forums is cruising along with new features and looking great (congratulations Bart, nice work!) I wanted to give you all an update on the Association of Commercial Unmanned Aircraft Systems (ACUAS). In the few weeks since this organization has been sparked into life, progress has continued both on the website and behind the scenes. Now that new US regulations are just around the corner, it's more important than ever to keep building our momentum.
Right now federal lawmakers are debating our future, and our opinions need to be heard. How hard should it be to get certification to use drones for business? Should a full-scale pilot's license be required? What equipment requirements or safety inspections are reasonable? How close is too close? When is your aircraft or camera invading someone else's privacy?
We've completed major site updates at ACUAS.org, where you can learn about the organization and get involved. Many of you have already joined as members and offered to help in different ways, so thank you! Even as we are just beginning, I'm incredibly pleased to see how our community wants to work together. But I want to be perfectly honest with you, we still have a long way to go.
Also, now is the time to connect with other groups and prominent people in the sUAS industry that share our interests or are talking about similar efforts. Please let me know who you would suggest, and I'll reach out to them to collaborate.
