Sport , I'm sorry friend , but you are wrong .........
the wording of the previously discussed Advisory Circular , with all of it's "Should , Shall , and other ambiguities has been replaced in the new directive that is requiring the registration .
I know you say you haven't registered so there is no way you could have seen the list of operating conditions a registrant is required to agree to as part of the registration process .........
Anyone else want to break the bad news to ol Sport here , or are ya gonna leave the dirty work up to me ?

Ok , So I guess I gotta be the one to tell him ..... Sport , it says with no doubt , trick words , or possible loopholes ;
"I will not fly my UAS higher than 400 feet above ground level ."
That's it , no iffs ands or buts , it says what it says and if you do not check "yes" to the list of operating conditions it doesn't let you continue the registration . Now , I know you've argued for some time about the 400 feet when X distance from an airport only thing , but no such language exists to possibly be misconstrued in the wording the FAA has used .
Scream , Cry , kick your feet , the sad fact is that we ARE going to be in a world of deep doggie do do if we cause an accident while flying above 400 feet ! The FAA seems to have had a "wordsmith" of their own writing this set of operating conditions , and that sentence sadly looks pretty "bulletproof" to me ........
