<DIV>That sort of operational concept question has been an FAA subject
for years and is of course evolving rapidly. There is a huge
amount of detail and definition of terms involved in this area.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But short answer is yes.</DIV>

also work with UAV projects. Up until recently it was a grey area
and different FAA field offices offered their own interpretation of this
AC with regard to UAV's. In the last year or so we were told was a
more formal interpretation from FAA headquarters that said this AC
covers only model airplanes flown by hobbyists and it can not be applied
to UAV's or model aircraft flown for commercial purposes. The
commercial purposes was key.<BR><BR>You are correct that the FAA is
developing rules for UAV's flown for commercial purposes (and have been
developing such rules for at least 4-5 years that I know of, probably
longer). The AC has existed for over 25 years and has had little
effect on us. Very few flyers know it even exists. I think
you are right on the money that it is up to us to be smart and careful
so that when the new rul! es fina lly do come out, they won't restrict
us excessively.<BR><BR>Ed<BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
