[QUOTE="oldngray, post: 1558013, member: 45230"] The certificate comes with several strings attached that limit Amazon's full-fledged ambitions. During tests, the FAA will require the drones to remain within sight of the pilot -- who must also have a minimum of a private pilot's certificate, the federal agency said. The drones will only be allowed to fly during the daytime and only in clear weather conditions. They'll also have to stay at 400-feet or below, according to the FAA.

If the operator has to be a licensed pilot and has to remain in sight of the drone where is the cost savings? Maybe they should just pay a kid on a bicycle to deliver it quicker and cheaper. [/QUOTE]
