Waiver or Permit?
The idea is because of recent years of turbine operations have been largely safe. With time and experience, the safety standards from users and manufacturers will only be on the rise, wouldn't it make sense for AMA to restate that turbine are allowed, but would require a permit to operate?

RE: Waiver or Permit?
License from who? AMA? Like others say AMA doesn't license anyone. They don't have an license authority. Are you talking about the federal government? If so, who would want that? That's crazy.

Ah, to live where folding and throwing a paper airplane breaks 20 different federal aviation and transportation laws and could result in 120 years in prison if the government chose to enforce those laws. I hope we don't turn into that country.

We're going to license, waiver, and regulate ourselves right out of the hobby.
It really bothers me that the American people of all stripes are constantly calling for more licenses, regulations, this or that, yet we wonder where our country has gone?

My apologies, never knew AMA didn't have the authority to issue a license, but how about a permit?

Modified from license to permit!

RE: Waiver or Permit?
Thank you Andy, I admit, don't have a very clear idea of AMA here.
Moderators, if what Andy described is true, please close this poll/thread, otherwise, let it take its course. Others are welcome to chime in as well.

No we don't and yes we do. The vast majority of modelers fly safely, but there are a few that need structure. There need to be some rules regarding things that fly to 200mph and beyond. The current AMA guidelines have no penalties. Most of the time FAA penalties are assessed when then pilot causes an accident or violates airspace rules... After crashes and injuries is when we need enforceable FAA rules not AMA guidelines. This is important in densely populated areas.
Flying and driving licenses are the only system to create that order. Right now it is the wild west... anything goes. Hunters and fishers have learned to work with in a license system, and so can airplane modelers. Times are changing... we need to adapt.

The AMA does not have the authority to issue a ''license''.The FAA does,and we certainly don't want them involved in our hobby.
