It’s reported that the bill has some really weird stuff in it such as the requirement for a person that uses an unmanned aerial vehicle for recreational use to comply with all instrument flight rules. The NTSB has released its “Most Wanted” List for 2015, and two aviation items are among the issues on which the board will focus this year. The board said that safety of helicopters operated by local, state, and federal governments is one of its top priorities. Pilots who fly search and rescue and law enforcement missions require safer operations.
