We can discuss the merits of the issues quoted above but to say that the AMA ignores the FAA or that the AMA has been “silent” on the 400’ issue is patently false.

Frank,

Read your own sig line.......

I didn't say AMA has been silent on the 400' issue. I said they have been silent as to what the altitude ceiling for models should be, as opposed to the 400' limit that FAA has advised and seems headed toward codifying. If AMA cannot offer any alternative(s), the issue cannot be resolved in a manner that is favorable to AMA.
More than four decades of AMA 'working through the issues' would seem to be ample time for consideration and coming to some conclusion.
