Brendan Schulman, Pirker's lawyer and an attorney at Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel says that he is reviewing the options for the next step in the Pirker case. "While we disagree with the decision, today's NTSB ruling in the Pirker case is narrowly limited to whether unmanned aircraft systems are subject to an aviation safety regulation concerning reckless operation, an issue that the NTSB has said requires further factual investigation before a penalty is imposed." Schulman said, "The more significant question of whether the safe operation of drones for business purposes is prohibited by any law was not addressed in the decision, and is currently pending before the D.C. Circuit in other cases being handled by Kramer Levin."
