Drone law  makes it legal to fly in federal air 
space for commercial reasons by Sept. 30, 2015. 
 FAA projects that 30,000 drones could be in the

What will drones be used for? 
 Police: surveillance. 
 Personal photography. 
 Me: inspecting ice buildup on my roof. 
 Sports teams: to cover games. 
 Farmers: to monitor crops at lower cost. 
 FedEx: unmanned planes delivering packages to 
airports (not your back yard  yet).
FedExs plan
TV and Film 
 On September, FAA announced it had 
approved certain uses of drones for film and 
television productions. 
 Only 6 productions granted so far.
Keeping law 
enforcement 
accountable. 
Occupy Wall Streets 
Occucopter
And journalism! 
(with a few caveats) 
Regulatory environment in U.S. 
is murky, but apparently not in 
Italy.
Good candidates for journalism 
 Anything that currently requires a helicopter. 
 Saves hundreds of dollars per hour. 
 Aerial views of forest fires, storm damage. 
 Aerial videos of government crackdowns on free 
speech (protests). 
 Sporting events. 
 Environmental stories. 
 What are your ideas?
60 Minutes used drones for 
a piece on salvage 
operation of the Costa 
Concordia cruise ship in 
Italy in December, 2012.

Not in the U.S. YET  
 Within the U.S. there are ample opportunities 
for drone journalism, but many will need to 
wait until the FAA guidelines in 2015. 
 The Daily got in trouble in 2011 after getting 
some spectacular footage.
News Corps The Daily 
 Series of new videos in 2011 as Daily Drone. 
Prompted FAA investigation. They were grounded.

But we can reasonably project what types of 
stories drones will make possible after 2015.
From the air, you see the path.

technically (but not legally) be done by

People value their privacy 
Steve Hindi, president of SHARK 
(SHowing Animals Respect and 
Kindness), said his group was 
preparing to launch its Mikrokopter 
drone to video what he called a live 
pigeon shoot on Sunday  
Seconds after it hit the air, 
numerous shots rang out  As an 
act of revenge for us shutting down 
the pigeon slaughter, they had shot 
down our copter.

FAA Hobbyist Guidelines 
Indoors: 
 No limitations. 
Outdoors: 
 Stay out of FAA air space (< 400 feet). 
 Dont fly over or toward people. 
 If people show up, fly away from them. 
 Dont fly near or toward buildings.
Use common sense 
If you stay under 400 feet, you can fly a drone 
on your own property, or property of someone 
else with their permission. 
But be careful not to peek over a fence, scare 
the neighbors and prompt a call to the FAA!
Speaking of hobbyists  
 A.R. Parrot has an SDK, and people are making 
apps for it right and left.
