I can't believe this has gone on for 5 pages!

I wonder if you did? The title of your post states the FAA is intentionally doing something and your first post states the article provides "proof". The article itself was aimed at sensationalized drone news stories often not being very accurate; a concept that should surprise no one. The author’s summary at the end states just the opposite of what you are trying to imply.


I'm with phlpsfrnk on this, the OP's thread is based on a bogus premise. Go to WAR, really?
The emperor has no clothes...

TimJ put it well:
here is the proof you need to show that the FAA is bending the truth. http://www.faa.gov/news/press_releas...6674&cid=TW234

In that article the FAA is claiming a victory, when in fact that is NOT the truth. IN FACT THIS IS THE TRUTH! http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the...ls-court-rules
The Feds are trying to intimidate an activity it has no regulation against.

Also, there is NO 400-foot 'rule', except within 3 miles of an airport, and THEN you 'should' contact the airport authority and ADVISE them. You can still fly above 400 feet, folks.
And there are no 'chartered' fields...
