Earlier today, in response to a question on the AMA blog, the AMA employee holding the title "Public Relations and Governmental Affairs" mentioned that "AMA members" were exempted from the 400 foot limit as a result of language in Senator Thune's amendment to the bill. I asked Chad if this new language and his comment indicated that AMA intended to require membership to exercise this exemption. He got snippy.

When I posted a followup noting that one would be correct to assume that someone with his title is not only speaking for the AMA, but that we should also assume someone with his title chooses words precisely and intentionally. Not only did he remove that post (declined to moderate it), but still hasn't answered.

If you think that AMA needs to go on record with their interpretation as to whether membership will be required to fly above 400 feet, please ask on their blogs. I think they owe us a clear answer.
