I didn't even realize that it was finally out and I'm constantly following UAS media...
I'm registered as a recreational pilot yet I didn't even receive an email from the FAA that the test was available.
What does that say about how this has been rolled out. If the FAA wants compliance what resources have been used to get the word out. Yes, I'll sit down this weekend and do it but I'm disappointed that this is the first and only place that it's been reported.
I'm constantly running across people who are new drone owners who have no idea about the regulations and basic safety rules. It seems strange to me that with these aircraft so accessable this kind of information is not. Without a change in the way the FAA is trying to educate the community we should expect the number of incidents to rise and a lack of compliance in the future.
Again, disappointed
