AMA Warns of Heavy Restrictions Proposed in Washington

Here’s an article worth reading, it’s an update to everything that’s been going on with the FAA, AMA and ARC. I received it in an email from Wayne, and it’s originally sourced from the AMA apparently, but I couldn’t find the original article. I did find a copy of it on Aero-News though.

FAA Seeks to Restrict Model Aircraft Flight – AMA Warns About Heavy Restrictions Coming from Washington

The laws have not been passed yet, they are in the rulemaking stage. Refer AMA Government Relations Timeline to see what is going on.

Jun – Aug/Oct 2011 – 60 to 120 day public comment period   I suspect these will be very important times to keep an eye out for and get everyone to speak up.
