Default RE: Questions about how the AMA works, and other important stuff.

9. The operator of a radio-controlled model aircraft shall control it during the entire flight, maintaining visual contact without enhancement other than by corrective lenses that are prescribed for the pilot. No model shall be equipped with devices which allow it to be flown to a selected location which is beyond the visual range or the pilot.

The second sentence in rule 9 imply semi autonomous flight is permitted. However, the first phrase states clearly that the operator must be controlling the flight at all times. That does not allow semi autonomous flight as I read it.
