Final results:- FAA forwarded 632 pages in response to my FOIA request
- 629 pages of agreements (156) w/ CBOs, clubs, AMA, etc. in response to my FOIA request
- Average agreement is 3.9 pages in length
- 11 sites forwarded to DoD for response (still pending)
- Most recent agreement forwarded by FAA was 29 Oct 2021 (less than 6 months ago)
- 10 agreements with 2021 dates
- 62 agreements with 2020 dates
- 41 of the clubs had specific agreement expiration dates
- Of 41 clubs with agreement expiration dates, 38 are expired (i.e. invalid)
- If club had multiple max altitudes based on conditions, I gave credit to the highest (best case)
The impact of AMA's "Influence"?- 96.7% of agreements (151 clubs) limited to 400 feet or less
- 11.5 % of agreements (18) limited to 200 feet or less
- 3.2% of agreements (5) were greater than 400 (3x600, 1 ea 1000 & 2000)
- All but one site approved for >400 comes with additional requirements
(added) Of 134 dated after LAANC in effect (23 July 2019 per AMA - when AMA started working to get high altitudes):- 96.2% (129) at or below 400 feet
One more thing:
In the entire package, there is no agreement with any entity that gives authority to operate above 400 AGL at "Taj-Muncie"
