There was a time that IMAA events accepted short memberships, collectable at the event, like AMA does for contests/events. Why did they quit? They never told me!
The membership that the IMAA sold at events was for a regular membership as I remember. I don't recall either the AMA or IMAA offering "short" memberships, just their normal memberships. There was/is? an AMA provision for event memberships for foreign nationals attending an event.
IMAA put themselves in the box by NOT allowing non-members to fly at their events. All other SIGs do not have this restriction, hence they get out of the class C
restricted catatgory that provides no protection.
