Well, the FAA finally came up with a 624 page rule book. Wow! Download PDF time.

Pretty simple rule book at 600+ pages. It would be well over a 1000 if the rules applied to hang nail removal.

Typical of this administration shackling ANY future use for drowns other than recreational and VERY limited business use. To many regulations stifle business!

"The FAA has already granted special permission for more than 5,300 commercial drone uses while it developed the final rules. Tuesday's action opens the floodgates to tens of thousands more because drone operators won't need to seek case-by-case approval."
So maybe if you'd read the article you wouldn't have made such a foolish, politically biased statement.

One of the main points of the regulation is they must be flown in sight of the operator. This totally destroys any long term use for commercial operators that need to fly long distances, like amazon.

Baloney:
"The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International, a trade group, projects 70,000 jobs and $13.6 billion in economic impact will be created in the U.S. within three years of drones being allowed to fully share the skies. Amazon, Google and Walmart are testing drones for deliveries.
"Huerta said research is continuing for automated programming over congested areas that would be required for deliveries, but he did not set a time frame for approving those sorts of flights.
'"The department is working cooperatively with industry," Huerta said. "We certainly see the benefit of this. What we need to see is that it can be done safely."'
Which is to say that the FAA compiled a consistent set of rules for small operators with simple requirements, and that they're still working in cooperation with industries that have more complicated needs. The objective is not now, nor has it ever been, to "destroy commercial operations."

That's good! I hope they follow through or the Chinese will put in a hole with this kind of technology.

No, it doesn't. Here is your original point:

Unless your overall point is "I hate this administration," those are two very different points.
