The 400' "recommendation" is meant to separate sUAV traffic from the lowest operating altitude airplanes and helicopter can potentially operate from. As far as airspace authorization - read 101.41(e). These's nothing that says you could be denied operation. If this bill passes (and I believe it will) you need authorization to fly in class B, C, D and E airspace within an airport operation zone. [/QUOTE]
