      The FAA realizes that air safety currently fundamentally depends on pilot self-preservation, which is not a property shared by drones.

      The main weakness of many sUAS today is range and battery use.

      Half a thought here, but regulations might require energy-intensive maneuvers as a tax on harmful behavior as an alternate disincentive.

      Interesting thread, but you lost me here and I'm not boat race savvy. Could you share a (rough/draft) example of what this idea in practice?

      @CJHandmer is the one who's boat race savvy! I'm only vaguely familiar. Maybe he'd share some specific examples

      Here's an article I found: http://www.yachtingworld.com/features/5-tips-when-and-how-to-take-a-penalty-63119 …. TLDR: Sailing against the wind is hard. Penalties are a 360 degree turn, costing time.

      Cool, thanks. How might rules like that apply to "drones", though? If someone flies over 400ft, someone makes them land and take off again??

      decelerating from forward flight and hovering/loitering are probably sufficiently energetically taxing as penalties.

          Landing seems impractical

          In a race context, or how's that going to be implemented? (Does sound like something Helicopter Parent DJI would code up, it sounds like ;-)

          Okay, I still don't get it then, but that's okay; don't mean to keep bothering! (The pilot self-preservation idea is intriguing regardless.)
