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.

Jean-Pierre Rondot
AMA 732
But in the thread about UAV's, you said the following;
quote JR
"The AMA has already put a ban in place. A ban that many on the EC have admitted was not given due consideration. Rules may be in order, but the ban needs to be rescinded, IMHO"
JR, you are contradicting yourself now. Which of your quotes am I to believe ?
As for the ADA laws, don't take my word, read them yourself.
If you want to help this man, I suggest you try another tact.
Looks like something I may have said, sometime, somewhere, about something. It was not always clear to me that the safety code is no longer an exclusion to the insurance, and the insurance policy must be viewed when it comes to coverage. So, yes, it is possible I changed my opinion. When facts, or logic, are presented that leave no doubt in my mind, I will change my mind. In the case of autonomous flight, I had the words of two people who wrote the new Safety Code to rely on. To punctuate the point, I asked Carl.

There are certain rights that individuals may not waive, as a matter of law. The right to discriminate is not among them.
The line was put in the charter application after a female filed a discrimination suit several years ago. The issue of the IRS status has also been raised, relative to discrimiation, although not by me. The contention was that the 501 (c) 3 status the AMA has prohibits discrimination.
If you think the ADA statutes are the only applicable statues on discrimination, realitive to disabilities, you had best start reading your municipal, county, and state statues. Then start researching other federal statutes.
The only law that I am concerned with in this case is contract law. When you sign a contract, you agree to it's terms. If you want have a club that discriminates, fine, but do it without an AMA charter.
