Still on my "to-do" list to read the whole proposed rule. From excerpts though, it appears to initially allow exemptions for line-of-sight sight flight at defined sites (if the AMA or another official "Community Based Organization" is the one to file the request). But, after a short initial period, no new sites can be requested, ever - so a club that has to move to a new field is done. And then, after 5 years, all sites would be gone, with the plan that the tech. to enable remote ID in all aircraft would be available.....It is still unclear to me if I can schedule flying using the proposed internet notification solution - ie - "I will be flying at a location, this afternoon", to avoid some of the issues of being at a site that has no internet....
