Except in the eyes of the FAA and just about anyone else outside of the modeling community, WE are the jaywalker
AC91-57 is our Crosswalk
(in your new reverse application of my analagy... its cool, reversal is a good balance tool).
It doesnt mean we can run out without looking both ways in our crosswalk,
but it is where we are supposed to be: 400/Call ATC in 3
What this situation is really about is more like you are jaywalking and almost get hit by a speeder. Then you try to be all indignant because the guy was speeding. Yes, the car was wrong to be speeding, but he also had no reasonable expectation that you would be jaywalking.
but using the AC91-57 Crosswalk,
we <pedestrian/modelers> can fully get indignant at "
speeders" almost hitting us in the crosswalk<AC91-57>.
If AC91-57 is an advisory from the FAA,
who is responsible to know what is in FAA advisories? Pilots?
What about this Heli pilot excuses him from knowing the FAA Advisory that puts models at 400',
if this heli pilot intends to fly below 400' a lot of the time?
It seems he should be interested in all <400' info and trafic permissions and advisories.
As such: How can he
assume/expect there are not models at 75' 'treetop', when the FAA Advisory says they can go to 400?
.......
<ok, "crosswalk" may be a bit too much for AC91-57...more like cross street intersection- not jaywalking>
