AMA FAA agree to streamline registration for AMA members.

You will use your AMA number. Success!
However, they should not state that you will be violating FAA rules if you register after Feb 19. That is not true, you can take as long as you want. You are not in violation till after you actually fly the unregistered model.
However, I will never register.

No it is not yet the law, the FAA has to go through the entire procedure. Takes months. Where do I say it is the law? I used future tense and never claimed a date.

You can ask them yourself if your curious, either via Youtube or the AMA site. It's the first thing they said they were going to try to get a deal on, so it would seem that it's something they were pushing hard on. As for this being seamless, perhaps you missed some of the folks here vehemently against the AMA turning over their number to the feds, so it remains to be seen how that is going to happen in a seamless manner, or without their permission.

I am guessing the FAA will get access to the database, or at least when there is an incident and your registration number will be retired.

I really don't want any private entity between me and the government. I will register, I don't want some car club to renew my car registration. There are some functions that are inherently governmental. How are you going to streamline a process that takes 5 or 10 minutes?
A hacker can hit the AMA database just as easily as any federal database. Keep the AMA out of my government requirements. All the AMA is trying to do is secure memberships.

Also the AMA is not a private entity it is public as all members are basically the owners.
The Chinese are not hacking the AMA data base. Or if they are they are stupid an wasting their time.

But the AMA is already doing this. The FAA can and will get this information. I will bet your bottom dollar that even before this, if a model airplane crashed into a manned plane, and the FAA found an AMA number on it, they would get a warrant and get the member information from the AMA. So what is the difference here?

Are you afraid of the Chinese hacking the AMA? Seriously?
Oh BTW Mythbusters disproved the myth that a bullet fired straight up would kill you. The example previously given was from a gun fired from a mile away which could not have been straight up.

So in two years when my membership is due, they can take $5 of the $70 I send them and give it to the FAA. Oh Boy! What a deal! in the meantime, I register, pay $5 and am now on the list for both organizations for the next two years. In reality, WHAT IS IT REALLY DOING TO MAKE THE NAS SAFER???? NOTHING!
What a bunch of fricken tail wagging the dog politics.

I am really putting this whole damn issue to bed !
As I have stated in the past, the FAA has had all of my information since I first applied for my Pilots Certificate in 1968. The AMA has had my information since I first joined, back whenever it was.
I have always posted my AMA information in all RC models that I have built and flown.
Now, I have registered to fly RC Models with the FAA and I have ordered vinyl FAA numbers to be applied to my models.
Lets see now, AMA information on the inside of model and FAA registration on outside of model.
Whatever the AMA or the FAA decide to do from this day forth, I figure that my butt is covered !
