AMA has touted their relationship with the EAA, and yes the EAA does seem to get the difference between MRs and "traditional." But it appears that EAA may not be the full throated supporter of whatever AMA wants. Read this statement from EAA again:<div style="margin-left:40px;"><br /><span style="color:#333333;">"EAA believes that anyone operating under the guidelines of a community-based organization should be able to establish a FRIA, such as individuals in rural areas who wish to fly from their own property."</span></div><br /><br /><span style="color:#333333;">Note that it does not say "member of a community-based organization," it says those operating under the guidelines of one. A plain language read of the above would not mean that the CBO must request the FRIA, but that ANY citizen could. I support that conceptually, those I don't see FAA ever agreeing to it, as that would lead to thousands of additional FRIAs. I can't see FAA supporting MORE of the FRIAs, as it's their clear goal to limit numbers and eventually eliminate FRIAs all together.</span><br /><br />
