AMA Files Petition for Review of FAA’s Interpretive Rule

Once on the government site and in the model aircraft case (http://www.regulations.gov/#!searchResu ... ue;ns=true), click on Open Documents Folder and you'll be able to read the comments that have been posted. Some provide very well reasoned arguments against the proposed rulemaking, others...

The linked article is spot on in pointing out that there is not a clear definition of how much airspace over your property is "yours". As it points out, the best case law has come up with is that airspace of which the property owner can "make beneficial use" is his, nothing more. That's vague...
