Hmmm, that's a bit more than 9 "drones" per pilot. How do they know how many I have?I wonder how many of the Certified Pilots are AMA members? All? Most? Some?
That would surely help to know, but unfortunately FAA could care less about that. I think that if we're talking recreational, we have to stick with those numbers. So that means 1,085,392 remote pilots registered. AMA says they have 200,000 members (actually just 110,000 are paying). That means roughly 800,000 non-members, which is how I arrived at the 4:1 non-member/member ratio.
