If AMA is as effective at getting these higher limits approved as their rhetoric would indicate, then why not publicize? People visit other clubs all the time, and might choose to go to one vs another depending on altitude limits. But in order for us to gauge the AMA's effectiveness we really need to know, for each club:
- Current LAANC altitude limit
- Has waiver been requested (yes/no)
- If yes, date requested and altitude requested
- Date of approved (written) FAA wavier & altitude granted
But yet when you ask the EC members, you get vague statements like "I don't know of one that's been denied." Ok, but that's a spin statement that would make a press secretary proud. Going from 200 to 300 on LAANC isn't quite so impressive as going from 200 to 2000. I suspect there's many cases of the former (hence "not knowing of denials") and very few of the latter. Just give us straight answers. The more they use language to obfuscate, the more one has to wonder why they're being evasive.
