ACADEMY OF MODEL AERONAUTICS

The largest model aviation association in the world!

Dear member –

We need your assistance in an urgent matter. Late last week, 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 – with no exceptions. 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 on this critical issue. Please visit www.modelaircraft.org/higher-flight to contact your representative.

Congress specifically granted the FAA the flexibility to allow operations over 400 feet if safety would not be affected. The FAA has not provided AMA with any data that proves that our operations are a safety risk. As you know, our model aircraft operations do not pose any safety or security risk to local airports or aircraft. The FAA needs to honor the Congressional directive to work with AMA on these issues.

Because of the negative impact on so many AMA members and clubs, we are going to fight this proposal with every resource at our disposal. You, our members, are our best resource.

To have the maximum impact on this proposed policy as possible, please share this message with your friends, family and fellow club members who love our hobby. To learn more about this policy, please click here. Also monitor your emails for new information as we work to fight this restrictive policy. As always, we are committed to doing everything possible to protect the model aviation hobby. If you have questions, please contact us at (765)287-1256 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Sincerely,

2020 Donations

Please send in your check along with a copy of your current 2020 AMA card, e-mail address, contact number and a self addressed envelope to the club treasurer;

"To all current PARCS members who want to renew their membership and anyone who wants to join the club, please print and complete BOTH forms (the Application/Renewal form as well as the Waiver form).  Mail the two forms with payment as directed on the Application/Renewal form. Thank you. Bradley Braut"

Personally, I think the waiver is redundand, unnesessary and contradicts the ByLaws. Andrew Doilidov, Editor.
