Requirements

Membership includes a $2,500,000 public liability insurance policy, and a monthly magazine called Model Aviation.  Click here for online sign-up, or Click here for FAX or USPS mail option.                                                                                                                         

2. The FAA aircraft registration rule, requires an FAA registration number be affixed to the outside of all of your radio control model aircraft Click here and select “I fly under The Exception For Recreational Flyers” option. The charge is $5 for three years, for all of your R/C aircraft.                                                               ​

3. The FAA requires that all recreational flyers must pass a simple aeronautical and safety test, otherwise known as the "TRUST" (The Recreational UAS Safety Test). It provides education and testing for recreational flyers on important safety and regulatory information. If you fly your model aircraft/drone recreationally, under the Exception for Recreational Flyers you must pass the test before you fly.  To take the test, go to Click here.  This is the AMA Site.  Take the test (Don’t worry, it is fail proof) then obtain your “Completion Certificate”.
