Airborne 04.14.16: Drone Laws, Aerobatic Access, Gogo Pricing

A small, bipartisan group of U.S. Senators is looking to make minor changes in language included in the FAA reauthorization bill that would allow local officials to have some limited capability to regulate drone operations.

But major changes to the bill's language is not expected, according to a report from The Hill newspaper. The bill as it is currently written would not allow local governments to enact laws related to the design, manufacture, testing, licensing, registration, certification, operation or maintenance of unmanned aircraft. Local governments could also not enact laws that would restrict related to the use of airspace, flight paths, pilot requirements, equipment or technology. To be safe and proficient, aerobatic pilots need to practice, and this means having an area of airspace dedicated to that purpose. The Keene, New Hampshire City Council voted last week to allow Chapter 35 of the International Aerobatic Club to conduct practices on five Saturdays this year by establishing a practice box near Dillant-Hopkins airport. Gogo, the in-flight connectivity company, has rolled out new hourly pricing plans for turboprop and light jet operators, making connectivity affordable and predictable for airframes of all types. Starting at $39 per hour, the new service plans provide in-flight connectivity with predictable pricing. After paying for the first hour, customers then pay only for what they use and incur fees only when the service is being utilized. All this -- and MORE in today's episode of Airborne!!!
