I registered tonight also. I will hope that after watching the hour+ video from the AMA Expo with the FAA that the CBO ie:AMA Clubs will be allow to fly as normal. when this is all said and done.
Right now the 400ft is a guide line not law but it may be when it's said and done. The one thing that was talked about is the consideration of the CBOs on the 400ft rule. That seems to be the killer one for the AMA and CBO flying sites.
I know it is a lot of other issues besides the 400ft rule like the DC guys being shut down for now. If they get those fields open back up then what was said on the video might be the truth and not a dog and pony show.
I have to agree with the FAA guy about trying to educate the public and yes it seems we the AMA flyers got walked on trying to get the registration out before the holiday sales but I really feel like they were scared to death and still are with issues of the FPV and drones that can be flown anywhere and are the cause for most of the recent problems.
I am not sure if anyone has a better answer right now because you know the ones that are going to break the rules and laws are the ones that will not register or read or even care about the know before you fly.
Last but not least the FAA needs to educate the local law enforcement and local officials of the difference in a CBO flying site and off site Drone pilot if they do decide to exempt the 400ft for us. That will make things better for everyone.
