I have not read the complete document. It would be in our best interest to try to respond to the complete document. I know their is a lot of smart people out their that could create a good templet. Dan
Dan,
That's a good version. I too was wanting to address the "50% rule" and this response does it nicely. I'm going to use this one instead of the standard AMA template.
However, the main issue is having enough responses to the NPRM that the FAA realizes that its a problem for modelers and needs to be modified - its a numbers game more so that an actual comment game.
You may have seen it, but AOPA and EAA have also weighed in that the response time for the NPRM is too short and that the rule, as written is too restrictive. I think that the FAA is going to take those comments from traditional users of the NAS, as having more weight than the "this is great, let's go" comments from the Commercial Drone Alliance and the AUVSI...
