Default RE: Flying Sites. Can AMA and Non-AMA flyers co-exist?


ORIGINAL: tinner1

In the same vein, if the landowner for your club’s chartered club field has granted the club exclusive flying privileges, the club should ONLY allow AMA members and current members of the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC) to fly at the field.
In context you are wrong even by your 3rd grade education standard....It still says ''should only allow AMA members'', never does it say you ''have to''......
How hard is this....never mind what AMA says, what the landowner and the agreement made with him says is what counts (well, that's what counts for me). If he has granted use of his property exclusively to an AMA club (because that is what was asked for, probably due to a scare story about liability), and AMA mandates club members must be AMA members, where does that leave non-AMA members wrt use of the property? Tell us the club SHOULD use their own discretion as to allowing non-AMA members to fly there.
