Yes that is correct. The FAA and the Know Before You Fly Campaign offers a safety guideline that encourages modelers to stay below 400-feet. This is a good safe altitude limit for most modelers, but modelers operating under our safety program are permitted to fly over 400′."
From the FAA website.
"I will fly below 400 feet"
I found this interesting. before our registration was accepted we had to agree to the 400 foot rule. Did something change?

Mike , Just remember , Neither Chad NOR the AMA are in any way a "Higher authority" over the FAA . It is the FAA who owns the Ball , Bat , and Bases too in this ballgame , and so far they have proven that by pretty much doing exactly as they please , #336 be damned . Now , if someone's RC runs into a full scale at 900 feet , is Chad or the AMA going to represent them in the investigation ? Like I said in my last post , I see no where in any official FAA document that we have the permission to fly over 400 feet , only that one could have been worded better statement of "I will fly below 400 feet " .
