Re: NEW FAA regs forcing registration. I worry most about what happens at the border. Get a border agent with a chip on their shoulder and knowledge of the new FAA registration asking why you're taking a plane, where you're flying it, and ... is it registered with the FAA? |

Re: NEW FAA regs forcing registration. Well so far it looks like the only one you can run afoul of is the FAA if they choose to show up at the field. It would be nice if they got the registration thing straightened around. Dennis |

Re: NEW FAA regs forcing registration. Yes, I checked with MAAC, contacted Tony Eberts. Hello David. Yes, the coverage we have does not have any restrictions.

My buddy in Sarasota was told the same thing. As far as the AMA is concerned they are not going to police foreign nationals or their own members for the proper FAA registration at this time. It does not affect their insurance coverage. Word of caution from the club and AMA is that it does not fulfill your responsibility to register. The FAA can still charge you with failure to register and whatever consequences go along with that. Possible confiscation/seizure of your models etc. It was also mentioned that since it is a requirement to follow the rules/laws of the host country would MAAC insurance cover you if you fail to register? Has anyone bothered to check with MAAC? Dennis |

Re: NEW FAA regs forcing registration. I have been in Florida since Jan. first. I fly with a registered club down here. I asked what I needed to do and they said "nothing" other than filling out a form with my address MAAC number (proof of my insurance). I have my name, address and MAAC number on each airplane I fly here. It has been cold , windy so far with only a few days good for flying. Glenn |

Re: NEW FAA regs forcing registration. Hi Mervin, we have four IMAC contests in Southern Alberta with a small group of pilots that is slowly getting better. There are probably 15 contests in the IMAC NW region south of the border with a much bigger pool of contestants. Up until this year we do not have any Canadians flying in the two highest classes. Simple fact is, if you want to improve you have to play with the big dogs

Re: NEW FAA regs forcing registration. Maybe this IS a golden opportunity to enhance our hobby here at home! Let's expand our functions and contests here with the difference in the dollar as incentive too! Sorry Gordon! |
