What happens to pattern if the FAA new rules limit R/C to 400 feet maximum altitude? Also R/C gliders and IMAC.
I honestly do not see this happening. I've been on a workgroup that involves all R/C disciplines and the feeling was that the FAA will leave it up to the AMA to determine what the ceiling should be...
I agree with Derek on this one. Silent has a point, but keep in mind Silent that the fact sheet says "generally limited" to 400'. There will likely be some lengthy discussions/issues with regard to operating less than 3 nautical miles from an airport. However,as in many instances, I'm betting that there may likely be a provision to waiver that restriction if it becomes one, depends on if it becomes an SFAR or justPart 107 under 14 CFR; then again there's the exemption process via 14 CFR Part 11 too. Something to consider.
