“active cell signal to fly: 1 as a professional photographer the web log in during and or current flight… not good. there are some properties I have poor & or no signal. How do I professionally fly there? that is a direct impact to my earning potential.
2 as a amateur, I hike regularly where there is no signal. if I’m in the back country (BLM in western US) no signal and no danger to anything, flight restrictions are a joke.
3 the registration to a third party… make me really uncomfortable. FAA is one thing. While I get the need to register pilots, and the need for local law enforcement to be able to track individuals. Nope to third party. Let FAA have my info secure, let LEO have access to that data base.”
