Is the 0.55 lbs limit for recreational flying without registration just a policy advertised on the FAA website, or is it a regulation or federal code of some kind?
The reason behind the question is that 49 USC 44809 only says, "registered and marked in accordance with chapter 441 of this title." There's no mention of weight in any of those sections. So, the exception for recreational flyers under USC doesn't technically say it can be done without registration.
