AMA IN ACTION Advocating for Members
Welcome to the Academy of Model Aeronautics' Advocacy Blog. As the FAA looks to regulate the use of small unmanned aircraft systems (sUAS) and as Congress and state legislatures consider legislation with potential impact on the hobby, this site will keep you informed of the latest news, events and industry updates, and serves as an outlet to let your voice be heard by AMA and key officials nationwide.
The AMA Model Aircraft Standards Workgroup will meet face-to-face next week to continue its work on AMA’s proposed MA standards. The workgroup is focusing its efforts on assessing and addressing a list of potential hazards presented by the FAA.
