[NSRCA-discussion] 91-57a

[John Fuqua]

The current published circular makes the 400 feet a should not a must.

 

. Model aircraft operators should follow best practices including limiting operations to 400 feet above ground level (AGL).

Steve,

 

Actually, you're correct.  The 400 ft. AGL max was a carry over from Advisory Circular 91-57 and was how the FAA was separating small UAS from manned airspace.  This rule was not carried over into the current rules on AMA's recommendation to the FAA.

There is no 400ft max limit. Why do people keep inventing this restriction?  Nowhere in the IFR does it state this limitation.

Personally, I've never been over the 399 ft mark.  I don't know anyone who has.

How we deal with 400 ft max?  We fly higher

Well, here it is boys and girls.  It's official and starts next Monday.  The link is for the FAQ's of what's happening. 

 

 You only have to register once and you don't have to individually register all of your models.

You must be able to provide proof of registration and have it on you when flying.

You must have your Registration # (not going to be a N number) in your airplane where it is legible and accessible without the use of tools (aka under your canopy).  

If you sell a model, you should update your records. (I don't completely understand this if we aren't registering all of our models individually but, OK)

Registration is $5 but you'll get that back if you register in the first 30 days, I believe.

 

Have a look at the link and prepare to be upset.....
