<p class="MsoNormal">The line of sight limitation is not a real issue and I believe that is/should be handled by the Part 107 license. Anyone flying beyond line of sight needs to have a better understanding of the airspace rules and regs and that should not
be left to untrained individuals. Yes there are DJI pilots that insist they can fly well beyond line of sight, but the safety aspects of long range flight make this ill advisable.

<p class="MsoNormal">The primary issue that FPV pilots have with the AMA rules is the spotter rule. It’s not reasonable to require a spotter in most instances for FPV. The pilot can SEE what is around them. The typical camera has at 150°+ FOV. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">They also feel that the AMA has not been active in state/city attempts to (in many cases) crack down and make any model flying illegal. I have been to 6 city council meetings and 2 state meetings to affect some of these attempts with limited
effect. AMA’s presence and/or guidance would have been helpful.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> My immediate question was; doesn't the direct line of sight requirement affect all (or most) FPV flying? I'd think that drone (quadcopter) flying of all types
would be the primary focus for changing the bill, since you don't really see fixed wings landing on the White House lawn, or on the 11 oclock news. That would surely be the purpose for corporate backing for company's like Amazon, who would want a clear sky
for commercialization.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black"> It does seem like there's ups and downs to this - downs being the heavy favorite. As mentioned, 'potential' membership to clubs, SIG's, and the AMA has been lost
for many years due to the ease of flying conveniently around homes, parks, or any open space (I bought a helicopter for this very purpose, in 1993!). That's the direction the technology has led. So if clubs/AMA get waivers somehow for flying fields, there
will be a membership surge for all of us wanting to continue to fly, legally at least. I'm sure AMA has considered this. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

they won't know about any of this, and just continue flying in the driveway. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">I’d have to respectfully disagree. While the AMA has done well representing the current membership. They do nothing to entice virtually any form of the drone pilot
population. I fly FPV racing/freestyle drones a lot more than pattern because of the ease of going to the local park to fly vs finding a field that allows pattern flying (closest to me is about 30 miles away). None of my drone friends have any interest in
the AMA, primarily because they don’t foster a rule set that is more in line with the reality of park flying. And this new law does NOT affect my FPV flying at all, only pattern flying with the altitude limit, but it does address the stupid among us that
insist on flying near airports and doing generally moronic stuff. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

of dollars a month on lobbying firms that have brought 0 results. Let’s start by holding AMA leadership accountable for their malpractice. They are not a charity they are a business and have blown their duty to protect this hobby. The very fact that the 400’
limit now exists is a testament to their malpractice. So everyone responsible for advocacy on this issue should be sent packing. Next we hire advocates who know what they are doing. The AMA letter today was laughable and a sign of damage control and not reality.
We lost a big battle and need to learn our lessons and hold this who blew it accountable. Sorry, but flying at pattern contest or practicing pattern was never a danger to national security, package delivery, or the autonomous world. Such an easy message to
our government was blown. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

of let's say a " worse case scenario ".... Maybe it already has ?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">I recommend if it has not already been thought about, have the sequence committee or other powers at be start planning for the 400' restriction. I understand this
would be a big change, but one that would be necessary if the FAA reauthorization bill comes in effect if it is passed by the senate..

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Even though this would put a huge impact on large vertical manuvers, tall centered manuvers, or tall turn-around manuvers, there are as many, or even more sub up
to 400' manuvers one could come up with that would still allow us to hone our skills, continue our passion, and still remain within the 400' cieling.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Yes... Manuvers would need to be modified and even quite a few removed completely to stay within the limits. 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 "
