Ira, if a person fly's in an unsafe manner and violates AMA and FAA Safety Rules that exist now in print, He could be putting his flying participation in jeopardy, thus be suspended by a local club if he is a member, and suspended by the AMA. If he has taken any test written, but has not shown satisfactory flying ability, he should have not been given permission to begin with and not given the Card.
Most of these people ,like in Brads Video he posted, surely was not an AMA Member, he should know the Rules, apparently he knew nothing.
This is a bone I chew on with the AMA, hell they will give anybody a card,they want the dues money, that doe's not mean he can fly over people and create hazards to life, property,and including manned aircraft in any airspace just because he has the AMA Card. This in my opinion, is a question the AMA should answer and also the FAA. I don't like the FAA getting involved with this, don't get me wrong, all I am trying to say is something has to be done or somebody will get hurt of killed if they just shove this under the rug.
