[NSRCA-discussion] Matt Finley ( F3A Moving Forward )

[J]

Good evening Jon,
Our job as the BoD is to help mobile our membership to do whatever we can to keep our hobby alive and well. At this point, the best thing we can do is to contact your local representatives in the house and your senators and lobby for exceptions to the law that allow AMA sanctioned fields be exempt from the height limit. We will of course need to work with the AMA to keep our interests focused and productive.

Class G is uncontrolled airspace below 14,500 feet Mean Sea Level (MSL).  Basically, anything far from an airport, unless it falls under Class E.  I think much of the airspace in the U.S. more than 1200 feet Above Ground Level (AGL) is Class E.  See FAA's description of airspace classes.



We will have to wait until FAA issues a Notice of Proposed Rule Making (NPRM) to find out how they're going to regulate the new statutes, and whether there will be any waiver process.  The bill does seem to require some degree of training and certification for all unmanned aircraft operators (including models).

However talking in "future" speak, in my eyes, and opinion, it would be crazy, and yes I will say it ludicrous to just say " With the 400' cieling limit, I guess we can no longer fly Precision Aerobatics "
