That makes sense to me about the TFR's and NOTAMs..... if I fly, it is my responsibility to know what's going, not the AMA's. Just like I don't have to join AAA to be responsible for knowing the laws of the road when I drive. I'm not trying to be argumentative, I just don't understand how being a member of the AMA makes me a more responsible flyer. When all is said and done, if I am *forced* to join the AMA, that will never happen. I will shred my membership card and mail it back to them along with a letter stating my opinion on the matter.
