Let me ask a simple question. When is the last time have U seen an air liner outside the ATA below the altitude of say 2000' AGL. I'd Venture U have never seen any maned airplane where u fly below say 1500' AGL. Just walk out side and tell me how many airplanes of any size U see below 1500' in the next week. Or how many U see with in a mile of any AMA flying sight below 1500' AGL unless the field is located on an airport as the one I frequent every day is.
Due to inactivity in the last 4 or 5 years I see maybe one TO and Landing a week.
99.99999999% of aircraft don't fly at levels that present a problem from Any model Aircraft including Drones flown properly. The Bottom line is that The FAA and some here are making a "Mountain out of a mole hill or better yet a problem where one has never existed". But alas some people will just keep on beating a dead horse just to try and prove they are far superior intellectually than their detractors, No mater the topic.
