Pertaining to RC Pilot testing , here is the latest reply that I have received from the AMA. I do feel satisfied that at least they are replying quickly to my questions and not just brushing them aside.
Q. With all of the above stated, why should it be necessary for me to pass a test to fly a " Radio Controlled Airplane " ?
A: We are probably a year away from the test becoming public - assuming the Senate version does not get amended, passes the second committee, and passes the second round of voting. Most likely you will have to take the test, but again we have many more steps from even knowing if the test will be required.
Finally, I would like to know why the AMA has not launched a NATIONAL program to explain to the general public that it is not the Model Aircraft Hobbyist, but the rogue DRONE operators that are causing all of the air space problems ?
A: That question best may be best answered by your Executive Council person or through a marketing ticket. I can confirm we make this argument in all of our media inquiries.
