It’s all I got right now, but should be showing up soon for the full insert.Is there another page to this memo? It just seems to end rather abruptly and only addresses "Fixed" flying sites.
It's a good solid step in the right direction to regulate hobby flights along the same lines as Part 107 operations.

It seems the OPs memo show implementation on 5/16 and states ATC would no longer respond to sUAS "intent to fly" advisories. I am hoping the rest of the memo spells out how a hobbyist can fly in controlled airspace....This follows up on the thread I posted last week New FAA Actions on Recreational Flights and Model Aircraft in which the FAA was seeking input on requesting authority to start collecting information from recreational pilots for airspace authorizations. It closed to comment on May 10, the same date as this memo. Specifically, the request for comment included this statement: "Similar to the existing process for part 107 operations, the FAA proposes to use LAANC and a web portal to process airspace authorization requests for limited recreational operations...prior to conducting any small UAS flight in Class B, Class C, Class D, or within the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace designated for an airport. Previously, only persons operating under part 107 have been required to request these authorizations."

This it faa-pdf.111232Please forgive me for posting this SS. I’m sure others have better documentation.

Hope they remove the night restriction on 107 flights
Wow... those additional pages paint a not so great picture for Hobby flights.... I expected tighter restrictions but did not expect them to be to this extent.
That's what happens when hobby operators feel like it's the Wild Wild West and those silly Part 107 laws are humorous.
Agreed. In many ways it's not surprising, but it's a huge change in philosophy now that the FAA has been freed from the constraints of the Special Rule. I don't think the implications have quite sunk in yet, judging by some of the commentary on drone-related websites.
