AMA working on allowing Autonomous Systems ?

First they ban it because "it has nothing to do with model aviation"

Now its fine if the insurance company will cover it?

 

From the April AMA EC minutes:

"Outdoor Autonomous Flight Operations
The committee realized with the technological advances and increased member interest, they needed to find a way to embrace the new technology and make it happen in a safe manner. The name of the document was changed to include the word ‘Outdoor’ because among other requirements, flights are limited to a chartered club flying site and approved overfly area. (Note: paragraph 7 will be kept in the document at this time, but once reviewed for insurance implications, may be changed.)

Did they see the light or dollar signs?

Note that it will be limited to AMA club sites ($$$).

I'd say $ if they see enough interest because the details will be reviewed (whenever that is).

I don't think they will end up being part of the conversation.

I would say something caustic but I would be accused of  ageism...
