Default RE: If rules change, will you honor new rules?

What I asked of you is if you were implying that there will be AMA members who might ignore all the rules, AMA and FAA.
You should be directing your suppositions and inferences towards Cottco, not me,
cause this is HIS thread and inquiry, not mine.

He put forth a real simple question of who is going to do A, and who is going to do B,
and if you want to redefine what he has made for A & B then you need to talk to him.

I made the point (to him) that he should have stated a qualifier to his question-
the phrase you should have included is
... in the unlikely event that AMA is not exempted from model regulations, ....

cause its a big pile of unknowns as to AMA even being held to any gubberment regs at all at this point
and that is something you chose to completely ignore
just to RA argue
that there could be CBO exemption and its probability




What I asked of you is if you were implying that there will be AMA members who might ignore all the rules, AMA and FAA. That certainly does not mean doing so at an AMA chartered club site, or anything else.
we might have to wait a long time to see someone post about that
... oh wait, theres one right there

I have one airplane that probably flies faster than 100 mph. Would I slow down my flying if there's a 100 MPH speed limit? No I would not slow down. If any of the three clubs I belong to told me to slow down, yes of course I'd slow down. But, I fly at other places besides my AMA clubs.
IF the club steps up and forces him to slow down he will.
Cause I seem to recall a discussion over speed limits having to be enforced by the club (for PPP)
and the AMA was very specific in saying that it is up to the pilot not the club to obey the speed limits from Muncie.

There you have it,
Muncie has said the clubs dont have to enforce the speed limit ( thats a members personal responsibility),
and we heard this guy say he is going to fly fast but will slow down if the club tells him to (but still fly fast off club).
That there is intent to violate the regs off club, and on club, till the club slows him down (which muncie said it dont have to do)

oh, I appreciate the guys honesty and wish him years of safe flying at whatever speeds
I think you got it, KE.

It may useful to make note of the fact (from [link=http://www.modelaircraft.org/aboutama/question.aspx]FAQ[/link] on the AMA website) that compliance with the COB rules would be voluntary. We all know how that worked out for compliance with FAA's AC 91-57.

"Q. How will the FAA and/or the AMA enforce these restrictions?

The enforcement of the Federal Aviation Regulations within the Code of Federal Regulations (CFRs) fall under the jurisdiction of the FAA. Enforcement of the sUAS regulation and the adopted standards will be at the discretion of the FAA. AMA will continue to encourage voluntary compliance with its policies, procedures and National Model Aviation Safety Code.
