Reading it over non members may be able to fly over the 400 ft limit but must follow the safety guidlines of a community based CBO such as the AMA. Does this mean the FAA in wording the AMA as a CBO recognize them as such????????????
LOL!!!!
Apparently, you failed to recognize how arbitrary that FAA statement is?
Essentially it reads, “fly however high you want, just don’t interfere with full scale aircraft. However, if you DO interfere with a full-scale aircraft, you will be charged.”
Many people who read the FAA statement you posted asked the same question regarding the AMA’s status as an “official” CBO. The FAA responded by saying that they have not named any organization as an “official” CBO.
As always, you are welcome to believe what you want, just be aware that your beliefs do not necessarily constitute facts.
