Because that's not the way it works in VMC. In VMC, *everybody* avoids everybody else visually, as well as with other aids (ATC). So if the "little thing" is flying, and I'm flying, and it's VMC and I'm not talking to ATC, and I don't see that "little thing", and of course nobody is onboard the UAV to see me....midairs happen. Ok, you just contradicted yourself. If you're flying in VMC and you don't see that "little thing", and have a midair, it's your fault. Why does it matter if anyone is on board the UAV or not? Personally I think a NOTAM saying when/where the UAVs will be should be enough for VFR pilots to avoid the thing. Why do we need a TFR? Answer a question for me: is this a little bitty slow UAV that's hard to see from any kind of distance or one of the larger, faster ones that can run a light plane down from behind where the pilot couldn't see it coming? |
