According to the Federal Register, the FAA's sUAS regulations are to be submitted to the Secretary of Transportation today. Nothing for even the FAA to do about it now until the NPRM this summer. Just a couple months of rubber stamping the mystery envelope.

    My question to Inhofe and his supporters:

    Why not get protection for all model aircraft enthusiasts instead of an exception for the only "Nationwide" CBO ?

    Sorry, I find it despicable.

    Dear Mr. Van Der Plaats:
     
         Thank you for contacting me regarding the possibility of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issuing regulations governing the use of model aircraft.
     
         I understand your concern that such regulations, if enacted, could make it more difficult to pursue model aviation as a hobby.  As the FAA works to integrate more unmanned aircraft into the National Airspace System, its primary focus will be on safety and security.  However, reasonable accommodations can be made for those who wish to participate in a safe recreational activity.
     
         Be assured that I will monitor this situation and keep your views in mind as it develops.  Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future.
     
                                       Sincerely,
                                       Senator Bill Nelson
