Well, what the FAA actually did was clarify that persons operating under Section 336 of P.L. 112-95 are not bound by some of the guidelines that the FAA has put out, specifically the altitude guideline. This was done to resolve the confusion their poor wording has caused. No special privileges were bestowed on the AMA or its members beyond what exists for any person operating in compliance with Section 336 (and now Part 101.41 as of 8/29/2016).
