CAATT Clamping down on drones!
""THE STATE is moving to strictly regulate the use of drones — unmanned aircraft guided remotely, such quadcopters used in aerial photography — by introducing legal regulations that would make the devices illegal in the absence of registration certificates obtained from aviation authorities.
Ramesh Lutchmedial, the Director General of Civil Aviation at the Trinidad and Tobago Civil Aviation Authority, will tomorrow meet with Ian Macintyre, the Chief Parliamentary Counsel, at the Ministry of the Attorney General, Cabildo Chambers, Port-of-Spain, to push forward the process of introducing a regime of regulation for the devices.*
Draft regulations prepared by the aviation regulator were submitted to the Office of the Chief Parliamentary Counsel a month ago for review. When finalised and approved, the regulations will have to be approved by the Legislative Review Committee of the Cabinet and then the Cabinet before coming into force through publication in the Gazette.*
Lutchmedial on Friday spoke with Sunday Newsday about the draft regulations which will require all owners of these devices to register their craft. “There is a proliferation of drones, such as the ‘copters’ used for aerial photography,” he said. “In other countries the use of these devices is regulated. We are preparing a set of regulations. All drones will have to be registered and conditions will be attached for their use in order to ensure they do not pose a safety hazard to persons on the ground and to aircraft.*
If not registered it will be illegal to operate one of these devices. Every drone will require a certificate of registration and an identifying number.” Lutchmedial continued, “the rules are currently being reviewed by the Office of the Chief Parliamentary Counsel and we will be meeting (tomorrow) to discuss them.” He noted an informal scheme of registration is in place at the Civil Aviation Authority.""

As quoted above is a article that was posted in the Newsday a few days.
I disagree with part of it but remembering Im live in a society where anything and everything is a abused. I had to agree with what's gonna be put in place for it. Because there are reports on drones being used within local plane airspace and the crashing of these devices on private property.
I myself was about to buy one to play around with a old go pro 2 I have but after reading the article and have to register every drone I own. I'd say no because I see this being tedious as it would be in government office :|. And to the fact that I have a few small the medium helicopters in my collect already, I'd be getting rid of those just to avoid the registration process.
What you guys thing about this?!
