With reference to the use of "First person view" devices. These devices are of most beneficial for persons who are most used to flying manned aircraft. They are accustom to flying from the point of view of the aircraft. It is well known within the RC hobby community that person with actual flying experience have the most challenges especially while landing RC aircraft.
Private property rights: In the event an RC/Hobbyist is flying over their own property or over another's private property with expressed written permission they should be allowed to fly using "First person view" devices and use these devices for commercial applications.
Safety: Safety is the primary excuse for restricting the use of unmanned aerial system for commercial applications. If the FAA has deemed hobby RC flight is safe than it should be deemed safe enough for commercial use, especially on private property.
The FAAs jurisdiction over commercial operations is for commercial transport where human beings are passengers or crew. In the event of autonomous flight of aircraft with human passengers or crew such as the Osprey used by the military where take off and landing is totally autonomous because it was found to be safer than the pilot and copilot coordinating with each other during landing and take off. In the event of the use of human passengers and crew, I believe that the FAA should have safety oversight of the autonomous mechanisms to be implemented.
