The genuine FAA Advisory does not have a comma. It is a period:
"c. Do not fly model aircraft higher than 400 feet above the surface.
You give reference to where you got this post (bold above)in your next post, HOWEVER the first sentence of THAT document says
Subject: MODEL AIRCRAFT OPERATING STANDARDS
1. PURPOSE. This advisory circular outlines, and encourages voluntary compliance with, safety
standards for model aircraft operators.
The use of the wording "encourages voluntary compliance" would say, IMHO, this is what they suggest, or would like the public to do, but it is NOT mandated or the law. I would like to see "anywhere" that it is spelled out as "law". Usually a law posting is followed by defining penalties if the law is broken, and as of yet I have seen no such "law" referenced here on RCU. I am NOT saying it is not a good "safety rule" only questioning whether it is a "law" or "suggested guideline". There is a difference...
