Default RE: Autonomous Flight, by Hal DeBolt

I can remember attending a QSSA meet over 10 years ago where a guy with a video camera in the nose was flying beyond sight. It sure is not clear that this rises to the level of autonomous flight by the AMA, but, who knows? It might be. On the other hand, it does seem to be limited by the restriction of unaided site. In any case, it's old technology.

Maybe the EC should pass a Safety Rule that simply says that terriorist weapons are not covered by AMA insurance.

Although there is talk of a waiver system, six months after this rule was passed it is still talk. Maybe it should have been thought through before the rule was passed.

Maybe it's time to revoke the rule and think about it, until something the AMA can explain can be put in place that at least makes sense.
