Here is a note from someone who knows for sure. But we shall see.
Hi Robert,
Thanks. Sorry I missed your call.
A couple of things. The report sent to the FAA is, at this point just recommendations. The FAA may adopt all, some, or none of the suggestions. AMA requested to put dissenting comments into some of the provisions but was prevented from doing that. We hope to express those concerns in a meeting with FAA in the coming weeks. The final process for registration, whatever that may be, won’t be released until probably around 12/15. And, AMA has argued (I think successfully) that CL models should be exempt from registration because they are not navigable (they’re tethered) in the airspace.
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.
