As indicated in detail in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.modelaircraft.org\/aboutama\/AMAInterpretiveRuleResponse.aspx\">updates to our members last summer<\/a> , the AMA has taken exception to several aspects of FAA\u2019s interpretation. Aside from this, and one exception that may impact model aircraft manufacturers, the new proposed rule essentially takes the language in the 2012 Special Rule for Model Aircraft (the AMA amendment) and places it in the federal aviation regulations.<\/p>\n<p><em>We encourage members to submit comments commending the FAA for appropriately separating model aviation from the new regulations and also encourage members to include in their comments the need to resolve the discrepancies stemming from the Interpretive Rule before finalizing the sUAS rule.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>AMA has created a suggested template for comments, which we strongly encourage you to edit and personalize.
