DJI has shown off their new DJI Mini 2 SE, a lightweight, fist-sized camera drone. The Mini 2 SE slots in among other DJI models like the Mavic Mini and Mini 3 Pro. The tiny addition to the lineup aims for a tiny, 8.8-ounce (249 gram) compact footprint that can more easily skirt drone rulings that hamper larger, more regulated drone categories around the world. The FAA published a Notice of Policy in the Federal Register confirming that it would no longer require letters of deviation authority (LODAs) for most flight training in experimental aircraft—including instances in which the training aircraft’s use is provided in the absence of compensation. The Colgan Air Flight 3407 accident occasioned a host of revisions to airline safety regulations, to include the establishment of a current rule by which pilots are required to log 1,500 flight hours and meet the knowledge and experience provisions of FAR 61.153—which lays out the eligibility requirements for FAA ATP certification—prior to operating a commercial aircraft under Part 121. All this — and MORE in today’s episode of Airborne-Unlimited!!!

The 1500 hour requirement is such bull excrement. Of course the pilot's union doesn't want to relax it – it makes their pilots more valuable and therefore the unions get more money. A better idea would be a guided standard of 200 hrs of IFR time, 200 hrs night flying, 200 hrs of turbine time, and 200 hrs of multi-engine time, with only 50 hrs of each being combined time. With the rule as it is, one could get 1500 hrs in a Cessna 152 and qualify.
