Narrative:
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 crash fire rescue equipment 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 crash fire rescue equipment 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 crash fire rescue equipment prior to the flyover.
