Near-north Ontario, French River | I'm curious as to what you find ignorant about his comments. Seems pretty straight forward to me. FWIW crop dusters are very rare around here, helicopters get used for wheat spraying maybe one every 5 yrs, ground rigs dominate by far. I would assume a duster would circle his target field at least once before starting an application, just to check for hazards etc. Any new regs could be as simple as they are required to transit at say 750 AGL, circle once at 750 , and drop application height once the area is deemed clear. The simple act of circling should be enough to alert any drone pilot of the dusters presence. Just take a lite common sense for everyone to get along. |
