Default Recommend No.2 PARK flyers concern

AB Recommendation No. 2 (pg 11):

"MAAC investigates concerns over park flyers and other aircraft flying in parks and other areas wherethe public could be at risk."


I personally think this is a local issue. Area clubs should be approaching these flyers and educating them or at least suggesting some safe practice. MAAC doesn't "investigate" and doesn't have any power to enforce. The new 2.4Ghz radios may help to ease some of the concern. As for safety, every individual is responsible for their own actions. If they are MAAC members, they should be flying by the rules. Maybe they are already flying safe and have a good thing going............maybe we should join the fun?
