Human Factors; Airspace Structure; Aircraft; Procedure
I was participating in a flight of Vans RV series experimental aircraft for the purpose of conducting a pre-game flyover for [a] Major League Baseball game. The flight obtained a TFR waiver and received radar services from [the associated] Approach Control. The flight was conducted as briefed.The day after the flyover the team received information from [our association's] Vice President of Government Relations; that he had been informed by the FAA Department 800; Washington DC; that the team would be violated for Title 14 CFR section 91.319 (c) for any future flyovers over the Stadium. Unfortunately; this information was received the day after the flyover.Although I believe the FAA interpretation of Title 14 CFR section 91.319(c) is incorrect and should be challenged through proper channels; I would not have participated in the flyover if I had been provided the FAA's current interpretation of the CFR prior to the flyover.
[Report narrative contained no additional information]
A day after having performed a previously approved stadium overflight demonstration with nine homebuilt aircraft the pilots received notice through a third party (an association officer) dated prior to the event advising any such flights would be in violation of CFR 91.319c.
