I went to FAA link and didnt find the statment as you have it worded.
Bottom of page 8 top of page 9.
http://www.eoss.org/faa/AFS_400_UAS_POLICY_05_01.pdf
Also this is not an advisory circular, this is FAA interim policy.
Thanks for the link STL but you must realize that in order for one part of that policy
to apply to models all of it would have to. That would mean that all model plane
operators would have to follow all of the rules listed and we both know that is
not the case. As far as im concered that policy is for uav aircraft and not what
is condidered model air craft.
Let me sum it up I have been flying models for some 14 years and have yet to be
contacted by the FAA have yet to see any FAA inspectors at any flying fields or
at any fly in's or airshows as far as the models were concerned.
That tells me plane and simple the FAA does not regulate models as far day to day
operations are concerned, as long as a model does not conflict with a full scale
aircraft you dont have to worry about the FAA.
