Some amazing news I feel

A good news for 2017.

sensational news.........so the import on radios,quads and planes also be legalized or at least regulated?

It's welcome news for our new year...

Mine drone is currently stuck at customs. Will this allow me to get it back from them??

No, it will still take months for the rules to come into effect and even then you will still need a NOC from the WPC.

Which is still and again next to impossible for normal citizens... 

Whats the update ?

New year gone already, DGCA doing ********

India lacks administration knowledge and  control, because politicians have little or no knowledge in innovation, but well qualified in scams and loots, These control lobbies may have bribe motive for them to release Tools, instruments

100% correctly said man

We are all aware of news articles published over time which say that regulations are "coming soon". We'd be lucky if it comes in 2017 at all. What has banning done to the hobby in India? While all the countries have gone ahead with innovations in this field after quickly bringing in the legislations, in India the prolonged ban has damaged the hobby and nipped innovation in the bud.

When the law comes, there would be nothing to be happy about, going by what we have seen in the draft rules. Instead it would give them another pretext for bribery.

Ended up complaining about this to Modi sahab now,

Dear friend.... I am happy to see your concern regarding the field..

But please watch your words... "Tortoise".. This doesn't sounds good...

I Dn know whether you are aware of the difficulties in controlling the airspace...

Not only dgca and also our army, navy and all defence forces has their part...

 

Todays post on Bangalore City Police FB page! 

City limits, for sure, yes you should not be flying, unless you are a really expert pilot.

Just wondering how they define the "City limits" ?

I guess within the urban buildings or crowded areas.

I hope so.
Not like they land up in the flying field and start arresting the people.
It's possible.

Some one see this article
http://www.indiatimes.com/news/india/goair-pilot-spots-a-drone-flying-12-000-feet-above-mumbai-270448.html

Sad, but 12000 fts = 3657m where the air temperature dips below -8 C with low density & air pressure 19in hg.

not or low possibility for a small quad to go this high, hover & stabilize.

Strange/Faked news to me, TOI as usual purely stupid exaggeration.

Fake news, all this news comes only to push DGCA back more.
Anyways, I dont care anymore.
I will keep flying and keep importing like a boss.
