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?

First, I agree - the FAA website DOES say "I will fly below 400 feet".

Question, just for the sake of argument - is there anything there that actually says I CAN NOT FLY ABOVE 400 FEET? If so, I haven't seen it.

Just asking.
