Let's say you go to the club field and you see another club member flying FPV using goggles without a spotter. Just the two of you are there, what do you do?'
Let's say you are driving past the local park and you see a pilot flying FPV unsafely over people. What do you do?
Just who is going to "educate" the ignorant? Somebody else? The AMA from Muncie, IN? The FAA from Washington, D.C.
I suspect there is a lot of big talk with no commitment to be personally part of the solution.................................
Good point Paul.

I have, in the past as a club member and as officer of the club advised members about breaking Regs.

Have never had the occasion to witness anyone in a park but I would like to think I would advise them of the regs.

I would hope the AMA could educate its members which is one of its requirements as a not for profit organization. Anyone reading AMA docs would educate themselves whether a member or not. The FAA already has a program in place, its called passing the airman certificate written exam.

I can’t speak for anyone else but I have personally contacted the AMA on issues. Can’t say I’ve had much success though.
