This is the statement lots of folks will be hoping to read one day.

In consideration of the foregoing, I find that a grant of exemption is in the...
Don't forget AC 91-57 was withdrawn by mistake early, expect to see it go now http://www.suasnews.com/2014/10/31737/ac-91-57-cancelled-model-aircraft-operating-standards/ All this has been coming since 2007, nobody there got organised and too many check points have been passed without complaint...
I'm sat on the press release, images and videos all of which can be released to the wild at 1700 PST. The party though starts at 1630 and Veronica from our SFC office will be there tweeting, pretty much everything is out there now though. @sUASNews on Twitter
Ok really my last post on the subject, have a listen here for what has happened before. Patrick just spoke to Tad Mc Geer, creator of the Aerosonde and ScanEagle http://www.blogtalkradio.com/suasnews/2014/11/05/unmanned-aircraft-with-tad-mcgeer
In a nutshell expect at the NPRM. We dare not say more what we are told. Our source will become obvious if we do. Expecting 100k comments they are gearing up for the fight. Imagine if they have to answer everyone before they move on that would take years.

We have several reports (leaks) that there has been an SFAR 107 meeting behind closed doors just aggregating the rumours and will post shortly. There are so may elephants in the room that I forgot this one! Patrick spoke about it in 2010...
Just the ASTM F-38 requirement for STANAG manuals will be more than most people can afford. Remember the Puma being used in Alaska is in use under military surplus rules and comes with all the STANAG manuals pre paid for by the people during sandy wars. Can anyone say commercial advantage? World...
No its not, the small rule NPRM slid to December http://www.suasnews.com/2014/09/31141/small-rule-nprm-slides-again/ Maybe its been bought forward a little so that its done before Jim leaves http://www.suasnews.com/2014/10/32034/jim-williams-to-leave-unmanned-aircraft-systems-integration-office/...
If the ruling keeps to the new schedule don't expect to use it until 2017, ATC has already asked for a six month training period should anything go through. At sUAS news we believe the man in currently charge is leaving in January and that will reset all the clocks again. Lets hope we are wrong.
Must have been pulled by Bart or moved somewhere else. Made up a little map of stadiums When TFRs are in force they should appear here amongst other places and if you fly APM will be on the GCS.
There are 180 stadiums alone that meet that requirement, I am adding them to a map and should be finished in a couple of hours. Will post it on sUAS News then and here
