Subject: Kite/Captive Balloon Regulations in Singapore up for Review till July 12th

This month, the government of Singapore is reviewing their current
regulations<http://www.caas.gov.sg/caas/en/Regulations/Airspace_Management/Air_Na...>,
and accepting public comment until July 12th.

They are proposing<http://www.caas.gov.sg/caas/en/Regulations/Airspace_Management/Air_Na...>to
raise the altitude cap for kites from 200 feet to 500 feet in
designated
safe areas.  They're looking to raise the captive balloon altitude to 290
feet (from 200) in designated safe areas, and lower it to 130 feet in
others.

I'd like to submit a comment suggesting that captive balloons should have
the same altitude cap as kites in some areas, to permit better use of
balloons in mapping there.  Does anyone have any thoughts on the process?
Is it ok for a non-Singaporean to submit a comment?  Is anyone from
Singapore on the list?

Mathew

Being from an area that gets lots of outsider input (whether we want it or
not), I'd tread carefully. The best thing to do would probably be to reach
out to others in Singapore that might be commenting (do you know of any
groups there that would have an interest in this?) and tag on to their
submission.
