Don't Forget the Little Guy: FAA's Proposed Rules for "Micro" UAVs
Many articles have been written about the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) proposed rules for "small" unmanned aircraft systems ("small UAS" or "small UAVs"). But most authors have overlooked that the FAA is also considering special, less stringent rules for "micro" UAVs. Micro UAVs weigh less than 4.4 lbs (small drones are less than 55 lbs.) and travel less than 35 mph (small drones are restricted to 100 mph).

Here is my summary of the proposed rule, followed by some suggestions to current and future drone operators.Wednesday, March 4, 2015
