Description

Jan-Christophe Oetjen, Vice President of the European Parliament, proposes a game-changing approach to airspace safety: mutual visibility. While drones are required to be detectable by aircraft, he argues it should work both ways. Aircraft should share their data with drone operators, creating a two-way transparency system. It's not about visual sight - it's about data sharing that lets drone pilots know what else is in their airspace. Oetjen frames this as a fairness issue: if drones must announce their presence, traditional aircraft should do the same. This reciprocal visibility could be the key to safer, more integrated airspace management as drone usage continues to explode.
