AMA needs your assistance in an urgent matter. The FAA unexpectedly informed us that, contrary to earlier commitments to AMA, the agency is planning to limit all recreational model aircraft operations to 400 feet in controlled airspace and there will be no exceptions. Although a 400 feet limit may work for a large number of our members, we have a number of disciplines that will need to go higher than these proposed heights. Additionally, the FAA is proposing restrictions in uncontrolled airspace to altitudes that could present safety issues as well as limit some model aircraft operations altogether. We were stunned by this proposal and are pushing back, but we need your help.We urge you to send a letter to your elected representatives in Congress and ask them to contact the FAA concerning this critical issue. Please visit www.modelaircraft.org/higher-flight to contact your representative.

::RECORDED MARCH 19, 2020::Since 1936, safety has been a key pillar of AMA, to include the safety of our members, staff, and community.  We at AMA are following the COVID-19 guidance by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local health officials. As a result, some of our AMA Headquarters operational staff will be working remotely. Whether staff members are serving inside AMA Headquarters or working remotely, membership services remain at the core of AMA!  We ask you be patient as we implement a remote work environment, but rest assured that we will continue to provide member services to include sanctioning, club chartering, content generation (email, videos, magazines, etc…), and insurance fulfillment. Staff can still be contacted using the same email and phone extension provided www.modelaircraft.org.   While AMA Headquarters is taking steps to slow down the spread of COVID-19, you can help too. You can enjoy model aviation operations and follow CDC recommendations by keeping 6 feet of separation from other operators, regularly washing your hands, and sanitizing surfaces. In addition, AMA is temporarily amending our sanctioning policy to assist with Contest Directors and Event Managers who are rescheduling events because of COVID-19 or local travel restrictions. You can read more about AMA’s recommendations and policies by scrolling down below.This is an evolving situation. As details change, we will keep you posted. As always, continue to follow CDC and local officials. 

::RECORDED MARCH 19, 2020:: Since 1936, safety has been a key pillar of AMA, to include the safety of our members, staff, and community.  We at AMA are following the COVID-19 guidance by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and local health officials. As a result, some of our AMA Headquarters operational staff will be working remotely. Whether staff members are serving inside AMA Headquarters or working remotely, membership services remain at the core of AMA!  We ask you be patient as we implement a remote work environment, but rest assured that we will continue to provide member services to include sanctioning, club chartering, content generation (email, videos, magazines, etc…), and insurance fulfillment. Staff can still be contacted using the same email and phone extension provided <a href="https://www.modelaircraft.org/about-ama/ama-organization/headquarters-staff" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.modelaircraft.org</a>.   While AMA Headquarters is taking steps to slow down the spread of COVID-19, you can help too. You can enjoy model aviation operations and follow CDC recommendations by keeping 6 feet of separation from other operators, regularly washing your hands, and sanitizing surfaces. In addition, AMA is temporarily amending our sanctioning policy to assist with Contest Directors and Event Managers who are rescheduling events because of COVID-19 or local travel restrictions. You can read more about AMA’s recommendations and policies by scrolling down below.This is an evolving situation. As details change, we will keep you posted. As always, continue to follow CDC and local officials.
