Re: Police investigate drone spotted near top of Space Needl
FAA rules are not to fly above 400', he did. He violated FAA rules.
You're trying to nitpick. Seattle Municipal code 18.12.265 does not specify that the model aircraft must take off or land in the park to be in violation. If the aircraft is over the park (as an aircraft is designed to be operated - airborne...) it is in violation of the code. Feel free to call the Parks and Recreation department in the morning and verify. Ask them if you launch your Yak 54 from the street (not the park), can you fly it over the park and be in compliance with the ordinance that bans RC aircraft from city parks? G'ahead and lemme know how that works out....
