Jim,
I've seen this site before. Projects like this are the reason that the
FAA wants to regulate UAVs (and RC aircraft) flying under autopilot or
video downlink. This case is specifically mentioned when they talk
about having to control any aircraft in their airspace. It doesn't
apply to RC
Jim,
The 400 foot limit within 3 miles of an airport thing is an AMA safety rule;
it has nothing to do with FAA airspace. So are the no autonomous flight and
maintain unenhanced visual contact rules. The AMA rules used to correspond
exectly to the published FAA guidelines for model aircraft
Hi Mark,
Actually, there is an FAA AC 91-57 that 400' is the
limit(http://www.airweb.faa.gov/Regulatory_and_Guidance_Library/rgAdviso
ryCircular.nsf/0/1acfc3f689769a56862569e70077c9cc?OpenDocument). As
you'll see in the document, how close you are to an airport has no
bearing on the altitude
Actuall, here's a link to the doc on the FAA site. Much easier to read.

Yes - that is the document I was referring to. Note that it is dated 1981. It
is an advisory only and not a FAR -- i.e. it has no legal power.
You are violating no FAA regulations regardless of where you fly a model
aircraft.

It does have some legal power as it show the intent of the FAA.
Judges can use these when interpreting FARs. Still, there is no FAR
that regulates models so I'm not sure any of this matters. In any

FAA if it's OK to fly at 3000 ft - they will say NO! That's because they don't
understand models and are not responsible for their operations.

Ben,
This should answer your question concerning FAA penalties for FAR violations:

As I said, penalties for violating FAR's can be levied on anyone - not just
pilots.
FAA regulation violations carry no criminal penalty per se. However many
This is actually a good discussion if we all remember to keep it civil.
Me included.
What is rapidly being pointed out by the varying points of view and
opinions is that the answers lie somewhere between calling the FAA every
time you fly, to ignoring the issue completely. Few if anyone here
Sorry Mark, but reading that simply supports my point. The FAA can't do
anything to a non-pilot. Your example below would require a Federal
criminal prosecutor to file charges in Federal court. The FAA does not
do this. The FAA's enforcement is with penalties and sanctions against
pilots.
Don't know if anyone is interested in this stuff or not, but figured it

Hi JD,
It's the FAA's opinion that we should know about the rules, NOTAMs, etc

looking at a 1/4-inch line from 10 feet away. And that would be the
