I think you are from West Bengal and from your language it can been clearly seen the influence of the coummies and the mamtas. India is changing and we have progressed. Progress is slow but it is surely there so it is my request not use such type of language

I hope this forum is only for discussion on RC Hobby and not politics or hurting other peoples feelings!!!. India is great country and we are bound to follow the rules and regulations that are set by it. The decision making people must have thought of something which is above our thinking , hence we must respect law and order set by it instead of abusing it.

Dear unidrakesh .I am as Indian as you are .where did this politics come into .did I mention anything about my political opinion?no then why drag politics into this.
And when did I say this?

Thanks for the update...but I hope DGCA's action for civilian license is not just a verbal reaction to what happened at IGI....

I just hope this moves fast......

At the IGI did they confirm that the suspected object was a UAS? Or was it just something the reporting pilot suspected?

Its the tussle between DGCA and Home Ministry which is causing the delay in finalizing the guidelines..See the article published today in The Hindu...

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/aviation-home-ministries-spar-over-regulating-drones/article19665327.ece

Yea saw it, the MHA seems to have made a parallel law/draft to DGCA's own draft.
This is stupid , the babus and netas are unaware of each other's work and jurisdictions 
but them fighting over this issue could go anywhere from here. Hope the change is for the best

looks like a fight between two teams.....

both don't know each others language....

n guess what.....both wanna win...

LORD  help us n this hobby......

We are indeed a Banana Republic ...

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/draft-regulations-on-drone-usage-announced-5-categories-prior-permissions-required/article19961631.ece

Interesting that despite the AMAI's best efforts against multirotors there is no distinction made here. Weight categories are better now but there is still that problematic requirement of 'RFID/SIM' (which needs to be clarified) and RTH hardware. The VLOS requirement should be clarified w.r.t spotters and a 200ft ceiling isn't really enforceable in most circumstances

It's also pretty funny that we are coming up on a year and half since the initial draft and arguments here and we are still on the draft stage. I need to check where we can send comments about the new draft.

Something moving atleast....the inaction was killing..

You could argue that an unenforced ban is better than enforced rules that are bad

Now whom to give the suggestion....

True....this is how they want India to be the world class user of drone...again taking us to the Permit Raj...Nano and Micro categories should have been excluded from the stringent requirement...

I would agree that the micro class should not be put under such stringent hardware requirements as we will not only loose performance, we will loose a lot of our freedom in the sky. RTH features are fragile for to take the everyday beating of a race quad and when you do an invested fall, good luck getting sats. Ceiling height is too low. If they do not implement this we should have an out like a part 107 or something on those similar lines which allow you to much more than what the govt restricts you to do.

SK1701 Where did you get the document from? It's not yet on DGCA site

Guys check the draft.
http://www.dgca.nic.in/misc/draft%20cars/CAR%20-%20UAS%20(Draft_Nov2017).pdf
There is note after section 4 regarding students and Aeromodellers.
There is no UIN required for them.  And can fly under 200ft with max. Take off weight of 2kg.

The only problem is no clarification on imports of parts like tx or batteries

Its conditional...UIN/UAOP not applicable for Students/Aeromodellers if flying in an educational institute  premises.

Time to send in your views again. Please refer the link.

http://www.dgca.nic.in/misc/notice.htm

Scroll down to middle of the page to see the Heading Civil Aviation Requirement. Comments should reach by Dec 1, 2017

Once again, request every one to be sensible, polite and base the comments on hard evidence and logic when you send in the comments to DGCA

Also an interesting take by an outsider on the draft. Shall give you enough pointers to frame your responses

See my latest post on this

Ok

The Rules are too ridiculous.
They should just adopt the rules followed globally if they don't have any knowledge on this matter, or first, gain some knowledge and then form rules.

Who would put a RFID and Sim Slot, transponder, etc. on a Sub 2kg Aircraft?
It only makes sense to have such tracking features on larger UAVs above 10kg.

So who is going to write back regarding this?
Anybody?
I don't have much knowledge regarding the RFID and sim card requirements.
Comments will have to be sent. It would be not-good if these set of rules are implemented.
