Jeremy and I start this episode with intent to examine our wins and losses from the decade, and our goals for the future, but it gets out of control. Instead we diss formal education, our dating history and the holidays, all while we putter around in the wood shop and deliver some furniture deep into the Adirondacks in an F550 box truck (enjoy the low rumble of I-87)! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/bernbuilt/message
Observations from the Drone Dealer Expo, hydrogen fueled drones, a drone rescue patent, and proposed federal preemption of UAS laws. Guest Mike Daniels says he has been designing, building and flying model aircraft since the 1970s. He's flown free flight, control line, and RC airplanes, helicopters, and multi-rotors. Mike built an F550 with parts he designed and printed, and he's currently flying a Yuneec Typhoon Q500 and an Ares Ethos Q130. His new Typhoon H should arrive at any moment. Mike holds an FAA pilot's certificate to fly single engine land and sea planes, and an FAA repairman certificate for Light Sport Airplanes with a Maintenance Rating. Mike shares his experiences by blogging at blog.mikeflys.com, and he's created an online e-paper called “The UAV Daily.” He's also starting a drone store at www.mikeflys.com where he'll only sell products he knows and likes. Follow Mike on Twitter as @Mike_Flys. Drone Dealer Expo 2016 Mike gives us his observations from the Drone Dealer Expo he attended April 11-13, 2016 in Orlando, Florida. Mike characterizes the attendees and describes some of the event themes. A drone racing expo was held in the parking lot to demo FPV racing, and there was talk about ESPN broadcasting races. The subsequent press story With ESPN deal, drone racing gets serious confirms that ESPN has signed a multi-year deal to broadcast drone races. We talk with Mike about the theory that the timing of the FAA UAS registration requirement may have depressed holiday drone sales. We also learn that a panel discussion led to a lively discussion about UAS regulations. There was a consensus belief that a future drone operator's certificate will require an in-person written test, not an online test. News MMC's Hydrogen-fueled Drone, the HyDrone 1800, Leads the Way into a New UAV Era MicroMultiCopter Aero Technology Co., Inc. (MMC) launched their HyDrone 1800, a hydrogen-fueled drone with a claimed flight time in excess of four hours, a one-minute recharge cycle, and a flight radius of up to 100km with a live video stream. Google Has Patented a Drone Rescue Service Google's concept is that users could push a button instead of calling 911 and get the help they need, delivered by a self-flying drone. Lawmakers seek to ensure FAA bill won't preempt local drone laws Senate debates contentious provision against state drone laws Some members of the US Senate are adding amendments to the FAA reauthorization bill that would create a federal preemption for state or local laws related to the design, manufacture, testing, licensing, registration, certification, operation, or maintenance of UAS. Local governments could not regulate airspace, altitude, flight paths, equipment or technology requirements, and pilot requirements. Video of the Week Killerdrone!

Drones assist with solar energy production, the satellite industry sees UAS opportunities, a quadcopter approaches a commercial flight, NYPD is developing a plan to counter weaponized drones, and more from the NBAA panel discussion on UAS. News These Drones With Little Brooms Keep Solar Panels Clean Large solar panel farms are increasingly being used to generate electricity. You can capture a lot of solar power in the desert, but the panels need to be cleaned to remove the dust that accumulates. Startup Aerial Power Limited is testing brush-carrying UAVs that gently keep the solar panels clean. Different Industries Debate the Potential of UAVs and the Need for Satellite UAVs often depend on satellite-based technology, and the satellite industry sees business opportunity in that. By their nature, satellite data transmissions are global, and that means international standards are needed. Quadcopter drone 'deliberately flown at passenger airliner' over Essex The UK Airprox Board has released its report on the May 2014 incident where a quadcopter came close to an ATR72 on approach to runway 06 at Southend Airport. The report (No. 2014073) states: “As the aircraft was about to intercept the ILS Glide-Slope, the pilot saw a remote-controlled quadcopter very close to the right wing-tip. The aircraft captain did not see the quadcopter but the sighting was reported to Southend ATC. The co-pilot formed the impression that the quadcopter had been flown deliberately close to the AT72 because he had seen it around 100m away as it approached from the right-hand side and made a turn to fly in the opposite direction to his aircraft, around 25m away and at the same level.” The quadcopter operator could not be traced. Beyond that… nothing to be done. NYPD: Threat Of Terrorists With Drones Is A Growing Concern New York police have been concerned about the possibility of an attack by drone. While they don't have any intelligence about a specific threat, they want to be prepared. The NYPD is consulting with the military and they are working on a plan to counter weaponized drones. NBAA2014 – BUSINESS AVIATION CONVENTION & EXHIBITION We continue with more from the October 21, 2014 NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition panel discussion titled: Unmanned Aircraft Systems: Regulatory and Legal Developments. The Panel was moderated by: Marc Warren , Crowell & Moring LLP with panel members: Dean Griffith , FAA; Mario Mairena , AUVSI; Govt Relations; Dave Hamrick, MITRE Corporation; and Ted Wierzbanowiski , ASTM standards for sUAS. Topics: Do you have to be a licensed pilot to fly sUAS? What standards did the ASTM recommend? Why does the Section 333 exemption require a private pilot's certificate? See Episode 65 for more clips from the panel discussion.
