"The report comes after Balpa, the airline pilot’s association,
demanded protection for the public against the risks of drones, which it
wants to meet the same safety standards as piloted aircraft. It also
wants the machines to only be flown by operators with pilot-equivalent
training.
Drones have been rapidly gaining popularity recently,
and are a highly-sought after Christmas present this year. London
department store Selfridges alone sold more than 100,000 Q4 Nano drones — around the size of a Jammie Dodger — via its concession Red 5 this year, the Evening Standard reported."
One crash between a drone and a plane will lead to insanely harsh rules for everybody. Just stay clear of airports!
