Kulo nyaka uphelileyo, iFederal Aviation Administration (FAA) yenze imitsi emikhulu ekudibaniseni iinqwelomoya ezingenabantu - ezibizwa ngokuba zii "drones" - kwindawo yomoya yelizwe. Isinyathelo sokuqala esikhulu senzeke ngoDisemba 21 wokugqibela, xa inkqubo entsha yokubhaliswa kwe-drone esekelwe kwiwebhu yaya kwi-intanethi.
Kulo nyaka uphelileyo, inkqubo ibhalise ngaphezu kwe-616,000 abanini kunye needrones zomntu ngamnye. Njengenxalenye yenkqubo, abafaki-zicelo bafumana kwaye kufuneka bavume ulwazi oluthile lokhuseleko olusisiseko. Oko kuthetha ukuba ngaphezulu kwe-600,000 yabaqhubi beedrone ngoku banolwazi olusisiseko lokuhamba ngenqwelomoya ukuze bazigcine kunye nabahlobo babo kunye nabamelwane bekhuselekile xa bebhabha.
I-FAA iphuhlise inkqubo yokubhalisa ezenzekelayo ekuphenduleni umgaqo ofuna abanini beenqwelo-moya ezincinci ezingenabantu ezinobunzima obungaphezu kwe-0.55 pounds (250 grams) kunye neepounds ezingaphantsi kwe-55 (malunga neekhilogram ezingama-25) ukubhalisa iidrones zabo.
Umgaqo kunye nenkqubo yokubhalisa yayijoliswe ngokukodwa kumawaka e-drone hobbyists abanamava amancinci okanye abangenawo amava kunye nenkqubo ye-aviation yase-US. I-arhente ibone ukubhaliswa njengendlela ebalaseleyo yokubanika imvakalelo yoxanduva kunye nokuphendula ngezenzo zabo. Le arhente ibifuna bazive beyinxalenye yoluntu lwezomoya, bazibone njengabaqhubi beenqwelomoya.
I-FAA iphuhlise inkqubo yobhaliso esekelwe kwiwebhu ukwenza inkqubo ibe lula kubasebenzisi bokuqala xa kuthelekiswa nenkqubo yemveli esekelwe kwiphepha elithi "N-number". Emva koko kwaye ngoku, abantu abanomdla wokuzilibazisa bahlawula umrhumo we-5.00 yeedola kwaye bafumane inombolo enye yesazisi kuzo zonke iidrones abanazo.
Abaqhubi beenqwelo-moya bezoRhwebo, zoluntu kunye nabanye abangeyiyo imodeli kufuneka basebenzise inkqubo yokubhalisa esekelwe ephepheni kude kube ngo-Matshi 31, i-2016, xa i-FAA yandisa inkqubo kubantu abangenakuzilibazisa.
Inkqubo ezenzekelayo iye yafumana enye inzuzo. Amaxesha amaninzi, i-arhente isebenzise inkqubo ukuthumela imiyalezo ebalulekileyo yokhuseleko kuye wonke umntu obhalisiweyo.
Ukubhaliswa kweenqwelo-moya ezingenabantu kube yimpumelelo engafanelekanga. I-FAA iqinisekile ukuba le nkqubo iya kuqhubeka inceda abaqhubi beenqwelomoya - abanamava okanye abatsha - baqonde ukuba ukhuseleko lishishini lomntu wonke.
