Default RE: Interesting newly posted AMA documents concerning the FAA regulations

Here is Dave's response about the two documents that started this thread:

Those documents were created, in part, as position papers to help our
lobbyist when creating awareness for our cause with elected representatives.
They were created in late October, early November and came right on the
heels of what we feel was a low point for us in the process - the September
29th meeting with UAPO.

Since that time, things have somewhat improved, and what you heard at the
Expo is more reflective of where we are today. We do believe that some of
the concerns expressed in those papers may still be issues that could appear
in the proposed (default) rule, but we are working to address those
particular issues in our standards.

That page on our website is a compilation of most all the AMA documents that
speak to the sUAS regulatory process. Things change, sometimes rapidly.
Thinking about this, it might be helpful to place a disclaimer on that page
indicating that there has been a significant ebb and flow to the process and
the latest documents should be considered an indicator of where things are
at the moment.
