while you are an AMA member you are always covered by AMA insurance and you are required to abide by the AMA regs ALL the time ; you can not simply decide that you can ignore the rules because you don't intend to rely on the AMA insurance at the time.
I'm not quite sure what this means... If I choose to fly without a waiver at a field which doesn't required AMA membership, what can the AMA do about it? Send the AMA police to impound my plane? My understanding is that flying a turbine without a waiver means going without insurance
for those turbine flights only. If I then fly my prop plane, my AMA insurance is still in effect...
