First of all, I respect your right to an opinion, but I don't appreciate your common sense pot shot. It seems that you are a person who believes the first thing that they are told and runs with it.
First of all, Helicopters as well as military aircraft have to file a flight plan as do all manned aircraft. By doing so, they have a designated path that they have to fly in. If they were to alter the flight path, they would have to have a very good reason in which to do so including flying below 500'.
If they were to fly below the 500 foot elevation, and land in your back yard where you were flying your quad, "Not Drone"they would be in violation and have stiff penalties filled against them. Not you for flying below your legal limit of 400' unless other stated in a law under the code of federal regulations a.k.a CFR.
So my question to you is how many helicopters or military aircraft have landed or even taken off in your back yards let's say in the past 20 years?
I don't even know you, but I bet I know the answer.
Im just trying to help some people to better understand the situation and not be bullied by fear and everything that they hear. The FAA cannot change any law unless it's done through CFR. They can try scare tactics that most politicians do that puts fear into naive people. They can also make recommendations.
If you live within a 5 mile radius of an airport that has been deemed a no fly zone, then you are screwed and have to go outside of the no fly zone to fly.
Guys, don't get all upset over nothing yet. I say yet. Fly responsibly, be respectful and don't do anything stupid and you will be fine. Don't ruin it for all of us.
And don't take pot shots at people who are trying to help you.
