New FAA Rules

RE: New FAA Rules

Our club has been posting all the info on the regulations on tthis mess. The AMA has asked all members to not regester until the last minute and they have provided a link and asking members to send there displeasure to the FAA directly citing the rules that ama members already follow. Also the Mac fine is 27,000 dallars. I like everyone else is outraged at the government for wanting to add more unnecessary paperwork and fees on anything they can more bucks to blow.

RE: New FAA Rules

Doc your right 100%. All do not need to suffer for the few. I personally don't care to give up my personal information to a searchable database that can be searched by anyone. I really have a problem believing that the FAA is going to get a kid to register a drone that they can even buy at the local kangaroo Mart (like a 7-11 convenience store) that we have here in
NC.. I was so irratated to see those things sitting there knowing that irresponsible people were going to buy these things and we are going to keep having to suffer the repercussions of people that will be operating these devices without any kind of insurance or respect to damage to persons or property. I for one don't see how they can enforce this law. There only betting on the ones that follow the rules to register. Being an AMA member is actually an easier way for them to catch us now. Because I'm a member they'll know I fly. So where can we hide and still fly. I say every pilot should got to this month's AM As news letter and go to the link to the FAA and voice there feelings on this matter. Make your voices and viewed heard and let's try to change things.

I hear you, I've already let my disgust be known, I urge everyone else to do the same.

I'm not complaining to the FAA... I'm complaining to congress.

Congress passed a LAW that says the FAA can not do this,

I wish there was a way to help fund that guy.... He must be a member of the DC Drone Users Group (as am I) and probably one of the AMA clubs that are currently shut down by the FAA because of the huge 30nm No Fly Zone. We are dead in the water in this area guys... Nobody is flying.

Once again, the press gets it wrong!  They make it sound as if it only affect Drones!  That makes me mad, so please read my comment below the article and add your comment as well.

RE: New FAA Rules

Seems to me the AMA isn't contesting the FAA rule at all but only trying to gain more membership under the smoke screen of making it easier to register if your a member which is totally in line with all the crooked politics we endure every day. I'm not suprised by this so many organizations like this start out with good intentions only to become completely corrupted and only exist to collect fees that usually go for the salaries of those few at the top.

RE: New FAA Rules

Hey everyone!
  As I said in a earlier post if we are going to be forced to register with the FAA what do we need the AMA for? We are all responsible flyers,we know the rules, and their insurance is secondary to your own insurance. So what's the point AMA? Do I really need to pay you 65.00 a year so you can be more worried about "working with FAA" instead of protecting your members rights by filing a suit against a illegal law inacted by the we have more power than Congress FAA.  

Signed
Disgusted!!

I added a comment and I hope others do. You are right about the press. The author of this seems to have his head up his... well, you know. He seems to think all one's planes (not to be confused with drones) must be registered. Not true. Only one registration no. is required to cover all one's planes. Doc

RE: New FAA Rules

The term "drone" is a huge problem. When the FAA says "drone" they mean ALL flying aircraft. When the media and general public hear the term "drone" they think of the 4 blade things that can hover and that are causing all the problems. I think the FAA is exploiting that confusion.

RE: New FAA Rules

Okay there is a way to fund Mr Taylors effort if you all are inclined to do so....

Greetings and Happy New Year, fellow drone users!

The Drone User Group Network and DC Area Drone User Group have created a small fund that will support legal efforts about issues that affect drone users in the greater DC area and beyond, starting with a legal challenge to FAA's drone registration rules. Please review the following link about the fund's purpose and consider contributing to the cause.

There are a few ways to help:
1. Donate - Everything helps. Even small donations have a big impact.
2. Post to social media - The more people who hear about us, the more likely we are to meet our target.
3. Share with your community - Call your friends, tell your co-workers, make an announcement at your organization's event to spread the word.

Thank you!

RE: New FAA Rules

Goodgod. Has anybody read that reform act thing. I just pulled it up and read pages 196-199 and it gave me a headache. Some of the other stuff I found while browsing seems was copied from the ama safety rules or vice versa. I'm at an impass. Things I read seem to protect us while still leaving the door wide open.

What's so rediculous about this whole thing is that it will not stop idiots from flying UAS's any more than gun control keeps idiots from owning guns! Doc

RE: New FAA Rules

Amen Doc!  This is the same mindset as all the anti gun rhetoric Obama is spouting.  It penalizes the law abiding while not harming the non law abiding one bit.
Just as the new laws are going to make the honest citizen jump through more hoops to get a gun while Joe Criminal will go to the nearest gun runners car trunk and purchase what ever the hell he wants, the idiots who have been doing illegal things with drones will continue to do so without any penalty unless they're caught.
And even then, I'd like to see how the punishment will stack up as compared to them raiding an AMA sanctioned airfield and busting the members because they have their AMA membership number on their planes, but not their FAA number.
Lets face it, there is easy money to be made by doing that, much easier than trying to track a single rogue drone.

HMMMMM!!!

I'm pretty darn sure the aircraft that slammed into the WTC were "registered". Lot of good that did, huh!

RE: New FAA Rules

Yeah, about as much good as this is going to do.  By the way, I dropped a note to the AMA telling them that they better get off their butts and start supporting this guy (I believe I said 'a..es") and I'd suggest that all of you do the same.  Its a good point to second guess a membership in the AMA if this is going to be the case.  One of the reasons I support the NRA is that they will go to bat. all out, for their members.  AMA needs to step up big time and show what they're made of or suffer a drop in membership.

 That's GOOD! Where is it published? I hope someplace where it will be noticed. Doc
