Default AMA Acknowledges 400 foot AGL Limit in Class G

In a AMA Government Affairs blog post dated 6 June 2019, the AMA acknowledges that the current limit for limited recreational sUAS operations in class G airspace is indeed 400 feet above ground level:

"Flying sites and individuals flying in uncontrolled airspace (Class G) can continue to fly up to 400’ AGL ... (empahsis added)"

AMA goes on to imply that "in the coming weeks" they will pursue a waiver for flights above 400 AGL in class G.
