It is exactly this sort of hair splitting that will destroy the AMA and it's clubs. The 'concept' needs to be "fixed" and then communicated, which has not and probably will not ever happen.
Actually a case can be argued that the so called “hair splitting” is exactly what perpetuates the AMA and therefore its clubs.
The letter of rules and laws can be followed but yet the spirit denied...unfortunately the English language provides no relief.
The answer is to hold free people accountable for the results of their actions...not to dictate intelligence... Doesn't provide relief from those incapable or indifferent to learning/understanding what actions is correct and just. In other words…a fellow that desires to build/use an autonomous airplane that has the potential to harm someone or damage someone’s property is the same guy that will ignore the rule anyway. The only thing a rule is good for is to prescribe punishment…The punishment in this case would be no coverage for those injured…HMMMM….why do we choose to limit ourselves?
