Register UAS (Drone) By 19 Feb

[Jim Meade / Iowa City]

The FAA says if you have an unmanned aircraft that weights from 0.5 to 55 lbs and fly it outdoors, you have to register it by Friday, 19 Feb.

If this is a toy, get on the FAA website and follow the instructions.

If you are using it for crop scouting or in any other way as a business, you can't follow this procedure.  You have to get permission.  Also on the FAA website but it takes a while.

Hey Jim! How about all those UFO's buzzing around in our airspace. Are we going to issue permits for them or simply shoot them down?

Inquiring mind wants to know.
