OK, then why doesn't the FAA registration site say that? It is clear what it says and it does not spell out any exceptions. When you register you agree to fly below 400 feet. This is a clear back door effort on the part of the FAA to sneak a limit in. You are required to register and in order to register you have to agree to the operating limits, which are printed on your card. Nowhere does it mention any exemption from those operating guidelines for AMA members.
