Does Not Anticipate Changes To Its Existing Guidelines For Model Aircraft Pilots
The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) has responded to the FAA's notice of proposed rulemaking on the Operation of Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Over People. Overall, the AMA believes the proposed rulemakings on flying over people and night flying are a step toward opening the airspace for more commercial unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) operators. For model aircraft hobbyists, however, they do not anticipate these rules will have a significant impact on their existing guidelines for safe and responsible operation.
