AMA very rarely gets even passing mention, except in an annual report from the treasurer at a club meeting that AMA charter fees were paid out, and a posted placard displaying the AMA Safety Code. A fair portion of the time I spend there is with noobs, assisting them with intro flights, and instruction if they come back for more. AMA doesn't get mentioned even when I'm in that role. I give them a safety brief, but leave it to others to tell them they have to belong to AMA to fly there.
