The New Zealand Ministry of Transport has released a draft paper which states that there are at least 281,000 drone operators in this country but only 5,000 registered manned aircraft. Why then, are there so many more manned-aviation incidents than drone incidents? Doesn't this *prove* that drone users are largely well behaved and law-abiding?
And isn't it wonderfully clear that Airways is pushing for mandatory registration and training of drone pilots solely for the cash it would put in their pockets?
