not exactly all rec pilots need to do is take the free very limited and basic safety Trust pilot test, all drone flying is limited to 400 feet AGL without waivers. We will have to disagree here on the revenue stream it only cost $5 to register all of your rec drones for 2 years, only Part 107 pilots need to pay to register each drone, the Part 107 test cost $175 and never expires as along as you retrain on their web site every two years for free. The reckless flyers are the ones who have brought on more restrictions and regulations, they have killed the ability to fly in some many areas that have nothing to do with gathering money for anybody and because of them we will now have RID. They have crashed into places and things leaving behind their trash, flown over stadiums of people, stopped fire fighting helicopters and flow through airports, one even just crashed into a commercial airliner, with registration that flyer can be traced back with the trash recovery. With the part 107 regulation for commercial remote pilots thyey can pull your ability to fly for commercial purposes if one violates the rules. When it comes to air space that is the FAAs job to set regulations so every one is on the same page. I do not see it as just income.
