Default RE: Does

Dont blame me if you say Anything Goes, and I point out that includes a lot of stuff you dont like.
Extreme?
Sure, ok, I can see how you look at going above 400' anywhere at anytime as an extreme violation of AC9157 recommendations.

however, as we bring this back to the thread start,
Policy11 looks to put the kibosh on activities that are sooo comercial
that AMA wont insure them just due to the commerciality of the activity.

Do the math for me,
FAA says you cant do commercial UAS-MA stuff under the Policy11 #7 NAS use authority type 3 'Hobby'.
AMA declares an activity as sometimes too commercial to be insured by them.
Put the two together.

Do you come up with
When a UAS(MA) operation is too commercial to be insured by AMA
it no longer can claim authorization to use the NAS as 3.Hobby
and must follow 2.Civil FAA requirements for UAS.
The FAA prohibits commercial activities claiming 3.Hobby authorization that coincidently AMA wont inusre as hobby,
so there is no need to bring outside insurance to cover commercialized-'hobby' activities at clubs that
i) AAM dont insure &
ii) FAA prohibits



Who says the activity is not a Hobby use of the craft?
Uh, actually, we / AMA are saying that by saying we wont insure it because its commercial use.
We cant point at 1 guy doing 1 thing and tell the insurance its Commerce while telling the Fed its Hobby
