The AMA is trying very hard to have the FAA consider them to be part of the solution instead of being part of the problem. "Know before you fly" is a key element of that. It is not going to be possible to "outlaw" FPV, so the approach is to educate people on how to do it safely.
The AMA needs the FAA to certify it as a "Community-Based Organization" (CBO) in order for our members to be free of FAA regulation as long as we follow AMA rules. Working *with* the FAA instead of against them - while still fighting for our continued right to fly safely is the best approach to making this happen. If you look at the NPRM, you will see that it basically leaves recreational modeling under CBO rules alone - which is what we need. This is a direct result of the AMA's efforts in working with the FAA...
