The Commercial Drone Alliance Wants Congress To Abolish Sec.336

The Commercial Drone Alliance wants safer skies for UAV's, and is calling on Congress to revoke Section 336 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act (FMRA) of 2012. With the implementation of FAA's Part 107, the drone use has been growing at an exponential rate. Consequently, basic "rules of road" are needed to manage all this new air traffic, the alliance says. "We understand why model aircraft proponents want to remain exempt, as they have been flying safely for decades. However, times have changed, and hobbyists are no longer flying alone," said Lisa Ellman, Co-executive Director of Commercial Drone Alliance.
