I have a direct question to Silent-AV8R You as a pilot, FAA Certified that is, would you be for or aginst prohibiting the airspace around any flying field? doesn't matter that its unlikely to get done.
It absolutely matters if it is a possibility or not. Things that are not even remotely possible are absurd to spend time discussing.
But let's assume that it were possible, since you seem intent on discussing the absurd. Doing so would close down many of the flying sites in LA since I sincerely doubt that the FAA would publish prohibited airspace at most, if any, of the fields I noted above. Let me ask you, is this a desirable outcome for you? The loss of already precious flying sites?? How many other places are there in the US where Prohibited AIrspace would cause the closure of RC fields??
So to be clear, not only do I not support the idea of prohibited airspace around RC fields, I think it is idiotic to even consider pursuing such a course of action with the FAA.
How's that? Clear enough for you??
But have at it. I know how long it took and under what circumstances the modest notation about RC models near Chino airport took to get done. I cannot wait to see how your proposal fares.
I see that you are one of the full size has all the rights type of bozo's, its funny how here in australia we have our assigned altitudes and our registered site info is available to all full size pilots if they take time to note them. But then again I guess you're one those I will fly my full sized toy where I want coz I'm a hero bozo's.. Its clowns like you that say no to any useful bit of regulation that will end in stuffing things up for all airspace users, rc'ers and full size alike. I have contacted several full size pilots and put them on this thread, most are wondering at your mentallity or lack there-off, Thier own words were if you cant give a decent leeway arounds hazards like rc clubs etc you're not fit to fly rubber band powered let alone full size. As to your second last quote, We are only asking for hieght restrictions and for them to be enforced, not total prohited zones, but then a fool like you wouldnt care, as long as you can fly your toy where and how you want. You no doubt would fight against that too. One question, with all the air space around, why do you full size pilots have to invade thew small amount we rc'ers use? is it just to show of your little toy and try to be hero? There sure as god made little green apples no other valid reason for it. I'll admit there will be the odd occasion where its a genuine accident but in a high percentage of cases it isnt.
