Treating it like hunting or fishing license could work. The commercial operators would have their own licensing system with more stringent requirements. The FAA would be responsible to actively monitor this group.

The hobby group would fall into two categories. The AMA and everyone else. The AMA member needs not purchase a license as long as his AMA number is displayed on the craft. Those who do not want to belong to the AMA need purchase a license for a nominal fee and display that number on their craft. One license would suffice for multiple craft as long as the number is displayed. Like the fishing regulations the hobby UAS/UAV/FPV regulations would be available to the person purchasing a license. Like the fishing regs reading, understanding and abiding by the regulations is the operator’s responsibility.

Federal, state and local authorities could apply the confiscation and/or charges for violations.

Hey Bradpaul you not just another pretty face are ya? Good Idea!!!!
