Sport , I hate to say this , but I think the whole #336 thing got blown by the AMA's inclusion of craft with BLOS abilities .


Believe me , it says what it says and you can argue with me till the cows come home and leave again , I am quite certain of what the FAA's intentions are with that sentence and don't think for a minute I'm happy with it cause I'm not . As already noted in some other thread , 400 feet kills sailplanes , a whole subset of the hobby wiped out with a stroke of a pen . Do you honestly believe come next July in the middle of flying season that if you were piloting a sailplane that went through a Cessna';s windshield at 900 feet or so that the FAA wouldn't use the 400 foot limit in your prosecution ? And please buddy , knock off the foolishness of "well I haven't signed it yet so it dont apply to me" all smug like , cause come springtime your gonna have to be registered and have agreed to the 400 foot limit in the process , or be ready to cough up 250K to uncle sam when you get caught flying a UAS without registration .

Like I said buddy , argue with me here all ya want , but you are wrong about this , no matter how you try to claim the FAA doesn't have the authority . I don't like it . I'm not on their side . But I know how the FAA operates , and you can take that 400 foot limit as being exactly what they want us to adhere to .
