Should drones have the right of way over airplanes? The FAA has proposed just that (under certain conditions) in its recent Part 108 rule, but Christian Ramsey says it doesn’t have to be bad news for GA pilots. The UAS expert and private pilot explains how drones and GA aircraft can share airspace below 400 feet, including the potential use of new electronic conspicuity devices. Christian also worked on the ADS-B network roll-out, so he shares his thoughts on datalink traffic and why it’s essential for safety. In the Ready to Copy segment, you’ll learn about unique drone applications, ADS-B tips, and whether angle of attack indicators matter. * Part 108 summary: https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/fact_sheets/Fact_Sheet_BVLOS.pdf * Christian’s article on ADS-B traffic: https://uavionix.com/blog/a-rant-about-ads-bs-role-in-preventing-mid-air-collisions/ * Lightspeed Zulu 4: https://www.sportys.com/lightspeed-zulu-4-aviation-headset.html
