Rifek 49,369 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Rost (Sheriff) called the delays “inordinate and inappropriate” and criticized the FAA for approving a request by technology giant Intel to fly 300 drones at the Super Bowl last month. The drones had LED lights that created illuminated designs for Lady Gaga’s performance. Intel needed permission from the FAA to fly the drones above NRG Stadium in Houston, and Rost said in his statement it took less than six weeks to process and approve the flight. The approval of the flight during Lady Gaga’s performance, which included drones flown at night but during a pre-recorded segment prior to the Super Bowl, sends a message that “the Super Bowl halftime entertainment is more important than public safety,” Rost said. “We’re talking a public safety issue versus a show,” he said. “It is hard for me to comprehend how public safety could be perceived as less important than the entertainment industry.” Rost said he hopes the FAA will prioritize public safety, especially for law enforcement agencies that choose to go the extra mile, such as having their pilots FAA-certified. “We are doing this thing the right way,” he said of the drone unit. “We just don’t joke around with it. It is a very serious thing for us.” More: http://www.brainerddispatch.com/news/4229991-nd-sheriff-blasts-faa-super-bowls-drone-flights-while-county-waits-approval SLAY DANGERGA! ❗️ IG: thebumblebee__ ❗️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
