It won't. Some FAA rule states no other authority may impose registration of model aircraft. Unless that wording was also changed with this court ruling then no authority may impose any registration of model aircraft.

I got an email from DJI this morning about the p4a

You can fly within 5 miles of an airport under hobby rules but you're required to notify the tower if there is one for flying within 5 miles.

You should make citation to the FAA rule about registration. If you fly unregistered with the city and you're fined sounds like a good court fight to me. The FAA is very clear about no extra registration. But since when has government rule stopped anyone.

What exactly is this permit for? If you launch on private property without this permit, can you get in trouble? Because the FAA specifically states local governments may NOT require additional registration.

That's correct, NOT from my drone haha. That is at my home in Connecticut through my 8 inch telescope. I do use a dslr though. A canon 40d modified with the infrared filter removed. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Yeah it is of course the safest to stay under 400 feet because if you are near any air traffic you could be cited for endangering other air craft. I wouldn't hesitate to go about 400 feet but only in certain areas. Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

So if you do some looking on AMA rules and the 400 foot rule, you can go above 400 feet when flying under AMA safety code. The safety code does restrict to 400 feet within 3 miles of an airport. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

Are you filing a warranty claim with DJI since the battery is so new and now there are broken pieces to your aircraft? Sent from my iPad using PhantomPilots

Does that mean something like the AMA? Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

My understanding is for hobbyists, there is no height limit; however, 400 feet is listed as a safety guideline. Edit: section 336 under public law 112-95 outlines like 5 regulations that must be followed: Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots

That's perfect. It's quite the machine once you get going. Sent from my iPhone using PhantomPilots
