hlink.net... "Tony Cox" wrote in message nk.net... Indeed. But it makes it *more dangerous*, which is why Larry's post is relevant, even if UAV's are supposedly confined to Class A airspace. It makes it *more dangerous* only in the sense that more traffic makes flying more dangerous. Any aircraft can have a mechanical failure that affects it's ability to maintain altitude and/or maneuver. It's not *more dangerous* simply because it's a UAV. It is if the pilot can't scan for traffic or search for a suitable emergency landing site. In any case, an aircraft "in distress" is only allowed to violate the FAR's as far as necessary to deal with the emergency. I'd have a hard time proving reasonable violation of "See and Avoid" in the simple case of engine failure. You're proposing that these UAV's can simply ignore this rule because they're supposed to be in class A all the time. |
