No need for that statement if they FAA is prohibited from enforcing.
What's concerning is that the sloppy language with respect to legal status could be exposing members to enforcement action.
I don't know why they aren't 100% precise in their language, then let members make a fully informed risk decision
No, the AMA doesn't expose any member to enforcement action. Members do that all by themselves based on how they fly. We're all responsible for what we do, not the AMA. It's clear this is the next issue to get folks all worked up about, to show how they are somehow complicit, or responsible, or really to blame for something, but really. Whatever happened to personal responsibility?
