The nation’s second highest court now has two cases before it
challenging recent actions taken by the FAA to regulate aircraft weighing less
than 55 pounds and flown by hobbyists.

The legal tug of war between the FAA and enthusiasts (including the world’s
largest model aircraft hobbyist organization) may be decided about 30 miles from
the nearest place a hobbyist can legally fly a small unmanned aircraft, as of
Sept. 2. That’s when the FAA expanded the Washington, D.C., no-drone zone far
beyond its original size, which was bounded by the Flight Restricted Zone,
extending up to 15 nautical miles from Ronald Reagan Washington National
Airport.
