And if you think your flying under the auspices of AMA rules or insurance protection , you already ARE banned from such flights !

Guys , it's right there in the safety code ;

Document 105 , Paragraph B , Subheading #1

Clearly states ;

"All pilots shall avoid flying directly over unprotected people , vessels , vehicles , or structures and shall avoid endangerment of life and property of others"

That's it . *Exact quote* . So meaning that anyone flying anything over anyone else's head is now part of the FAA controled NAS and has nothing to do with model aviation as our organization defines or protects it .


(*Exact quote* meaning just that , I did not create the fractured sentence by omitting the word "the" that belongs between the words "of" and "life" at the end of the sentence . )

I heartily invite anyone curious to hop on over to the AMA site and read the passage for themselves . To me it makes it clear that any sort of operations that involve much more than traditional club flying are not going to be protected in case of an incident causing financial loss . How in the Hell could you possibly get a quad , traditional RC plane , or a flippin remote controlled blimp for that matter over any bridge in any city without "flying directly over unprotected people , vessels , vehicles , or structures" ?
