Title: "Temporary Flight Restriction"
Post by: Richard Entwhistle 823412 on February 17, 2011, 05:14:19 PM

The President is flying into Portland tomorrow and a "Temporary Flight Restriction" has been ordered. Does this apply to Control Line? We don't want to get into any trouble. I can't find anything on the AMA web site that says CL is OK.

Being tethered to the ground, our toys are not "officially" aircraft at all.  But try explaining that to a guy with sunglasses, a black suit, an earbug and a bulge under his left armpit.   LL~

We had an issue with this in the Detroit area last fall. We were told that day that we were included in the restriction. The club president went to the AMA and they worked with the FAA and Dept. of homeland security and got it cleared so you can now fly control line under a presidential no fly zone. You cannot fly rc under it though.

No the restriction does not apply to cl.
