Ben Franklin said,
the ost uncommon sense, is common sense,
sometimes it has to be legislated.
the issue is not the actual hover but what goes on when the aircraft is in a hover,
ex, no one past the pilot or flight line between the aircraft and pilot,
no touching of anykind with the plane by a person,
and possibly no touching of any flying surface to the ground or any other stationary object by the plane will in the hovering mode.
