I don't have data going back that far, but according to the bureau of transportation statistics, there's been 170% increase in domestic revenue departures just since 1956. To think that we can "do things as we've always done them" in the face this growth is, in my opinion, asking for trouble. For the 400' limit, I'm just advocating that the Congress force FAA to be consistent with respect to traffic separation in the airspace. If commercial drones are too risky above 400' AGL, then those operated by folks who aren't even required to pass a vision test or FARs test must be too risky as well. I would like to see them allow for flights above 400', but require a NOTAM to do so.
