“Most of us have experienced commercial flights being canceled because of weather. A common thunderstorm can ground a light aircraft with a mass that’s three or four orders of magnitude larger than a drone. Air movement of just a few meters per second could be enough to send small drones bumping into buildings or falling from the sky.”

“You’re going to have the EMT that carries a first aid kit. The sawyer that carries the chainsaw and the pilot that carries the (drone),” Baxter said. “Instead of exposing a helicopter pilot to a recon flight or a captain of a crew to hike a ridge nobody’s ever been up, give them the tools to make their job just a little bit safer.”
