“sparsely populated, low-density Class G air traffic airspace “

Not much harm in that one. It is what is coming years down the road that is hazardous to freedom.

Class G airspace is uncontrolled airspace, not unregulated, but uncontrolled. What they want to do is setup a Yuma or White Sands type of area someplace to allow testing of commerical drones. Right now there just isn’t anywhere they are allowed to do that, everything is in a military reservation.

Also from the bill : \

“”Directs the FAA Administrator to make available on the FAA’s website a five-year “roadmap” for introduction of unmanned aircraft systems into the National Airspace System.””

Sadly FRiend, the intent here is clearly for use in domestic air space.

Give us strength Lord.

You are absolutely wrong, WHP Whiteman airport is in the middle of the San Fernando Valley and when the tower is closed fro 8pm to8 am it is Class G airspace, along with airspace in virtually All Cities. Get some charts and you will se what I mean, Hell Downtown LA is Class G Airspace.
