Default Unmanned Military Aircraft to Operate Under Advisory NOTAM Not TFRs


Is this new policy really a good idea as a model for all UAV
operations conducted in the NAS?

http://www.aopa.org/flightplanning/a...0unmanned.html
The FAA’s decision to issue an advisory notam, rather than flight
restrictions, for unmanned military aircraft operations near
Cherry Point, N.C., should be a model for managing traffic near
unmanned aerial flights, AOPA says. ...


And what does this really mean?

Aircraft that do not have an altitude encoding transponder are
strongly urged to avoid Alert Area A-530 unless they are in
contact with Cherry Point Approach Control.

Is ATC able to track the UAV traffic and alert pilots to conflicting
traffic hazards? Implicit in the lack of ATC contact necessary for
Mode C transponder equipped flights is the possibility that the UAV
can "see" beacon signals and avoid them.
