WASHINGTON — The number of registered drone owners has surpassed the number of registered airplanes and helicopters, the Federal Aviation Administration says.
Almost 460,000 drone owners have registered with the FAA. Drone owners only have to register once, so it’s likely there are far more unmanned aircraft, reports The Baltimore Sun.
The FAA’s main aircraft data base includes about 315,000 planes and copters.
Just before Christmas in 2015, the FAA required any drone pilot or model aircraft owner with a vehicle weighing between 0.55 pounds and 55 pounds to register with the agency.
In Maryland there are 9,259 drone owners, according to The Sun.
The largest numbers of drone owners are in the Baltimore and D.C. suburbs.
By ZIP code, Pasadena, Maryland, has the greatest number of drone pilots, with 148. Many drone owners also live in southern Maryland and the Eastern Shore, where testing of the unmanned aircraft systems is centered.
Only 159 drone owners in Maryland registered as “non-hobbyist” users, in large part because codifying commercial use rules has lagged.
The Washington metropolitan area has the most stringent rules restricting drone usage.
Unmanned flights are forbidden within a 15-mile radius of Reagan National Airport, meaning it’s illegal to

Boeing is considering a plan to put a larger engine on its biggest narrowbody airliner in an effort to blunt the runaway success of a rival Airbus jet that outsells it by four to one, industry sources said.
The U.S. planemaker would substitute a modified version of the larger and more powerful LEAP-1A engine used on Airbus’s A321neo rather than the LEAP-1B used on the 737 MAX 9, they said.
That would enable Boeing to add range while lengthening the 178-seat jet to fit 12 or more extra passengers and gain a capacity advantage over the 185-seat A321neo, the sources said.
Boeing disputes its rival’s claims about the strength of demand in this particular section of the market where Airbus has the most advantage. But leapfrogging Airbus’s A321neo offering with more seats would hedge Boeing’s position as many airlines opt for bigger planes.
However, the new plane, nicknamed 737 MAX 10 by some in the industry, would bring significant headaches.
Why Airplane Repossession Is a Surprisingly Lucrative Industry
Adding the larger engine would mean raising and possibly repositioning the landing gear and recertifying parts, costing an estimated $1-2 billion, according to industry experts.
Boeing’s 737 MAX family uses the smaller LEAP engine because the plane’s fuselage sits lower to the ground and must therefore have a smaller engine fan.
Having a different engine on the largest 737 could weaken the advantage of commonality with the smaller LEAP engine used on the rest of the 737 MAX fleet, but reflects a growing pragmatism in the face of

Decorated WWII B-17 bomber pilot John H. Klette, Jr. was 24-years-old when he enlisted to help his country defeat Nazi Germany.
The year was 1942, and Klette, a Covington native who was already a licensed pilot, and was practicing law with his father, when he went to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, OH and told them he was interested in enlisting in the Air Force.
“It was actually called the Air Corps at that time,” says Klette. “It was part of the Army. It wasn’t until ’47 that we had the Air Force created.”
They told him they were conducting tests at that very moment. Klette took the exam and passed. They graded the tests immediately and Klette passed the exam.

There are now more registered drone owners in the United States than there are other kinds aircraft, according to new figures from the Federal Aviation Administration.
Almost 460,000 drone owners have registered with regulators, the FAA reports. Owners are required to register only once, even if they own more than one drone, so the actual number of unmanned aircraft is likely to be larger.
By comparison, there are about 315,000 aircraft logged in the FAA’s main aircraft database.
There are 2,806 aircraft in Maryland, according to the FAA’s main registry, and 9,259 drone owners.
The FAA began requiring drone owners to submit data for a registry shortly before Christmas and released the numbers this month. Any drone pilot or model aircraft owner with a vehicle that weighs between 0.55 pounds and 55 pounds is required to register using an online form.
As drones have become a popular toy, giving users an inexpensive way of gathering aerial pictures and video footage, regulators have been struggling to figure out how to keep track of them.
Many models can fly high and far beyond the operator’s line of sight, where they risk collisions with airplanes and helicopters.
A process for determining rules for the commercial use of drones is moving forward slowly, frustrating would-be entrepreneurs who see business opportunities in the aircraft. Just 159 of the
