Interesting development... the question is, whether 2 months is enough to start with a new system That too in India? If yes, and done in the way it has to be done then..

Its not the dgca its flipkart and amazon that will complete the task in two months
I hope so
And i m glad to read this

Happy independence flying to all (coming soon)...

As far as safety is concerned, over the years I know here in India there are many people who do flower dropping with heli  over people crowed places. I think this is very dangerous act... I personally dont fly helis but this is something I do not support, Safety comes first. But I do not agree with all rules mentioned in our country.. they say only 27 Mhz is allowed here in India.. a custom officer was arguing with me last year at Mumbai airport.. 

Well then what about walki talki ,
Bluetooth ,
Cordless cell phones ,
Certain remotes ,
Wifi
Laptops
Tablets
Cellphone
Using 2.4ghz .....? Plz ask him  next time he argues with you

ya thats true my many friends doing flower dropping via 50,90 and 26 cc jr heli

@Chintal, those mentioned by you either operate on low power mode and has very short usable range(less than 10 meters) or they are licensed to operate on those frequencies.

we cannot take them as an example to them.

@ v2 eagle, you are right in licensed bands and low power(short range) devices but not limited to 10 mts, our wifi devices are usually 35 to 150 mts range(tx power 20dBm is 100mW output)

I would say "safety first" means risking someones life using rc equipment must be banned.. those who try n break rules.. or want to make their own rules must stopped. Remember this will only make other modellers suffer... this has happened in the past.

Yep, saw that video today. A good explanation, but how much does the folks with the tie's going to nod 'agree' is the question!

who will make DGCA to watch this video
Lets send an RTI asking has DGCA watched this video

Drone pilot wanted: Starting salary $100,000

The Good thing about US is , there could be jack ass bodies like FAA, but then the people are TOTALLY empowered to screww FAA happiness. Best part - the Judges are not still outwardly Sold out!!
I was happy that the Jury gave a verdict in favor of Team Black sheep owner and thumbed downed FAA's $10000 fine.

Can we imagine that in India ?? With Phony bodies like AMAI not uttering a Word on it ! It is such a petty shame on people with so much hype, and have been known to have reach to law makers.

If hobbyist's in India unite the government will have to back out its just the matter of starting it
We have way more hobbyists and sources (look at the amount of views a simple post on rci gets )

Even the dgca might be reading rcindia.org
Specially this post

Rules/law are created for the betterment of every human being just putting a notice without proper guide lines
Is like asking all the cars in the country to stop driving if it doesn't have a safety feature

Government here dont want to deal with the real situation just putting up a ban wont help them out increase the civil air safety instead proper guidelines and regulations (for eg:- not fly above xyz height, creating no fly zones like near airports )
Will be a win - win situation
We all hobbyists who like to meet up on the weekend and fly stuff will follow them 
Citizens and police will also have knowledge and can stop people not following the given rules will be the best way to avoid any crashes/disaster and keep the hobby alive and enjoyable rather then worry some

Watch now modified the original concept video at Reply # 168. Now you know why govt agencies are all shit scared of drones.  

Ha ha!! If Govt were to piss its pants on such ridiculous "Artist Illustration" , they should ask people to commit suicide as Aliens or Asteroids would be coming and destroy us, going by so many movies!!

And I laugh at the moronish Video ... leave Carrier ship shown in the video, or frigate, even a normal "Merchant" Ship carry enough armament to shoot down such BIG and slow moving "Multirotor" . A Carrier ship would destroy it even before coming under Visual Range. It is a shit stupid reason.

While the DGCA diktat definitely comes from the formation of another "Lobby" the UAV lobby being set up by Biggies like MAhindra, Tata etc. They wont like ordinary people like us to demonstrate even 1/10 capable system at 1/1000 of their price.

If this Govt RC or hobby UAV from designated no-population places, this would mean the Govt is curbing people to learn and develop this technology at educational level. While western and even South East Asian/Chinese Colleges doing much better than out Fat ass Govt agencies should be a wake up call for Govt from doing exactly opposite from what DGCA should be doing. While DARPA in US calls for civilians to demonstrate new Tech Demos, our Govts have been totally doing the opposite. This is a Big sham.

Hahaha Don't  take it so seriously  buddy. It's  surely much easier said than done. Just posted the Russian concept video for the pun. The latest developments could also be due to the reason highlighted by you in the last few paras.

Hello All (this is same post on different thread)

We wanted to check the NOTICE with a different angle.

Knowledgeable friends, please help and search meaning of INDIAN CIVIL AIRSPACE.

We are sure my backyard / terrace is not INDIAN CIVIL AIRSPACE.

Another key point of thought is if we are not in INDIAN CIVIL AIRSPACE, why are we worried? Does DGCA hold authority over every inch of space? Of my drawing room too?

ATS airspaces are classified in AIP India ENR 1.4
