question: how hard would it be to pressure/petition the FAA to define the difference between an RC and a Drone? from what I know, there isnt a clear difference and the media seems to love using that.

I'm still confused as to whether this is a Drone or a RC Aircraft. The differences are very vague. I feel like most people immediately assume that a quad/octo-copter is a drone, and anything else non military is rc. What needs to happen is, the definition of a RC and a drone needs to be clarified, so your local retired hobbyist with his over sized RC J-3 Cub replica isn't suddenly the center of the Media's attention because his "drone" is flying near people and spying on them; Then the FAA and other govt. agencies are involved.

I doubt the Go-Around put all those people's lives at risk like they said. Just another media corp stretching the truth.

In attempt to put down any over exaggerations, it looks like they are just using your phone signal to see where you are in the airport. Just like a phone trace, but scaled down to an airport. It is not looking inside your phone.

Northwest airlines....hmmmm. Is a 30 year old captain really a cause for concern. Hours arn't exactly perfect either. I could have flown 750 hours, but still be a really bad pilot, or only have 10 hours but be a natural and pull off landings that make a captain proud. it's not age or experience that counts, it's skill. (Granted skill is partially developed from age and experience)

In the first place, Did he really need to be flying it there of all places? Yes, It was legal, but I'm sure there's a local park or related where he could of flown it as well. He could be a pervert like the woman said, but he may not. We don't know. Also, She definitely overreacted. No need to do that. Calling the cops was ok. she was concerned and she did nothing wrong. Calling the cops three times and then assaulting him was over the line, as we all can see.

I'm almost wondering if this is a work of satire. Either way, It's very vague; Being an AP Statistics student makes me question the claims made. They say Studies were done; Is it a study, or an experiment, because that's a big difference.

Unfortunately, your right, this issue won't be taken seriously on a large scale until something major happens.

Are we really this stupid? You'd think it's common sense to not point lasers at people, much less airplanes. It's a shame we need to make laws for things like this.

Looks Great! With that said, somebody's gonna need to licence them so we don't have reckless, spoiled, rich teens disrupting air AND ground traffic. No fly zones will need to be established, and possibly air police to keep troublemakers away. looks amazing anyways.
