NFL Gets Permission For Drones
The NFL has finally gotten permission to fly drones in there stadiums. There is only one catch, they can only fly them when the stands are empty. This means that they still cannot use drones to capture shots of games. They got this much approved by the FFA (Federal Aviation Administration) on September 17. The NFL is the first major league to be able to fly drones.
The reason the FFA gave the NFL permission to use drones is because it thinks that drones are safer to use then other flying machines. They think this because they don't carry flammable fuel or a passenger, so there is a smaller chance of people getting hurt or places getting damaged. Also, they gave the NFL permission to use drones because the people liked the idea of it.
There are still other rules that the NFL has to follow as well as any other FFA approved drones. They have to fly there drones lower than 400 feet, they have to weigh less than 55 pounds, and they have to be in sight of the operator at all times. So far 1,400 companies have been legally approved to fly drones, but how many fly them and are not approved?
This is funny, they can use the drones but if the stands are empty. ; )
