[QUOTE="James Lummel, post: 72768, member: 11795"] Airmap may have jumped the gun here... Yes, the law was changed! But the regulations haven't, yet! We are still operating off of the 336 regulations for recreational purposes as per the notice posted at the top of the [URL='https://www.faa.gov/uas/']UAS page[/URL] at the FAA website: "On October 5, 2018, the President signed the [URL='https://www.congress.gov/115/bills/hr302/BILLS-115hr302enr.pdf']FAA Reauthorization Act of 2018[/URL] (PDF). The Act establishes new conditions for recreational use of drones and immediately repeals the Special Rule for Model Aircraft. The agency is evaluating the impacts of this change in the law and how implementation will proceed. In the interim, please continue to follow all current policies and guidance with respect to recreational use of drones. " Since the new law gives the FAA (very) wide latitude when it comes to regulating UAS, there are no guarantees that the resulting regulations will actually follow the letter of the law. Meaning the FAA issued regulations may not actually correspond to Airmap's interpretation. And given that the FAA is the one that can throw you in jail and/or cost you tons of cash thru fines, I'd go with what the FAA's telling UAS operators! Right now there is potential liability in following the new law and ignoring the current regulations that are in force, so be careful. I'm not a lawyer, so this isn't legal advice, just a friendly reminder from a fellow flyer... [/QUOTE]
