Default RE: AMA Policy - ParkFlyer Question

So you, I guess, just don't fly models unless at an AMA chartered flying field or another location you have written permission..
Since you are so fond of splitting hairs, please indulge me.

First - there is no such thing as an AMA chartered flying field. AMA does not charter, sanction, approve, bless, ordain, or otherwise recognize flying site in any manner. AMA charters clubs, who may, or may not, have a flying site. Further, the Safety Code makes no mention of permission to fly or not, so written permission is certainly not specified as a requirement.

All the AMA says is that you need to be flying in accordance with the safety code or your coverage MAY be jeopardized. Notice it does not say WILL, but MAY.


Are you confident, that if your model experiences radio interference, goes out of control and hurts someone to the tune of $450,000 of medical damages, not to mention other damages, AMA’s Insurance will pay?
Are you certain that it will not?? I am very certain that the policy will be there for me. Why do you think it will not??
