Sorry. I was going to see if anyone else would give info. I knew mine was likely partial, so I waited.

Partial List AMA Clubs in Controlled Airspace

I see another thread was started, asking for a list of clubs in controlled airspace. Interestingly, after one person asked "Why?", the thread was closed. Truthfully, the OP didn't need to provide any...

Unfortunately, his thinking reflects the EC's thinking. They're literally one low probability / high-consequence event from financial ruin and regulation the likes of which they've yet to see. And...

Or it's entirely plausible that FAA is giving the AMA plenty of rope to hang itself, and just waiting for that one event to drop the hammer. In fact, the stakeholders that are trying to severely...

First, it's illegal if they're going above 400 feet in Class G. That limit is there for a reason. It is this careless disregard for the law that will sooner or later be a problem for the hobby. Just...

I can't evaluate info I don't have. I asked for copies of all agreements. That's what they sent. Asking for pre-decisional materials, applications, etc. would likely be denied. Even if not, it would...
