I honestly feel that the requirements in the Senate version are minimal, and all that will be needed would be a basic knowledge test and simple registration. Also: 400 feet is a long way up for a smaller aircraft, .40 sized or less. It may present a bit of a challenge for 50cc and larger gas-powered planes, but those are beyond the budget of most people.
