Anyone know what this means to us? What are the rules or "guidelines" now? What is the status of the "interpretive rule" is it a law?? I thought congress said in the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, no new rules on model aircraft hobbyists.
I am again very disappointed with the FAA. I feel like I am being personally bullied by these people. Uhg.
From memo:"This memorandum is to request cancellation. of AC 91-57 Model Aircraft Operating Standards.
This AC is superseded by statutory language in the FAA Modernization and Reform. Act of 2012, Section 336. The FAA has issued an interpretation regarding the scope of the special rule and the FAA’s enforcement authority over model aircraft as affirmed by the statute. The new interpretation also provides guidance to the model aircraft industry. Therefore the guidance in this AC is no longer applicable. A new AC is under development and will be coordinated with the appropriate offices."
