Good points there JR



Disability law is largely regulated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. This Act prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in employment, housing, education, and access to public services.

Since we are not concerned with employment, housing, education, or public services the ADA just doesn't apply.

Normally discriminating based on disabilities could be cause for revoking the charter of an AMA club. But not if the AMA instructed the club to do so.

Discrimination is not in the equation.
It got into the equation when the officer of the club signed the application for charter.

You appear to be very opinionated on many things. The last discussion we had was over whether autonomous models are covered by the AMA. You were sooo adamant. Well, here is the answer:

Yes, the policy covers UAVs at this time.

Hi Carl

Does the insurance policy cover autonomous flight? The question is not what the Safety Code says, but, rather what is covered in the policy.
