Here's the latest from AMA

Reference - FAA's 400 foot high limit on RC aircraft.

I got this from AMA's executive director Chad Budreau 10/9/19.

"AMA has successfully advocated for many clubs and events to have altitudes well past 400’ AGL to include high as 1,200’. While this is good news for many, this is still unacceptable for AMA’s sailplane, turbine, IMAC, and large model aircraft communities. In addition, the FAA is indicating they may not allow for clubs to fly over 400’ near a towered airport. For perspective, there are 20,000 airports in the US, only 500 are towered. We have a handful of clubs and events that have been safely flying over 400’ near these towered airports and they should not unjustly be curtailed. It is imperative that all members stand up united. We need strength in numbers to tell the FAA to follow Congress’ intent which is to accommodate all of our operations so we can continue to fly as we always have safely in the airspace."
