Recently the United States House of Representatives and United States Senate both released their draft versions of FAA Reauthorization. In these bills, AMA was successful in securing higher altitudes in uncontrolled airspace, clarifying large model aircraft operations, and providing additional protections for educational UAS operations.
However, AMA’s work isn’t done. We have amendments in both the House and Senate that would allow for higher altitudes for everyone in Class G airspace and would also allow AMA and other community-based organizations to self-declare FAA-Recognized Identification Areas (FRIAs). For your convenience, both amendments have been posted below.
We encourage you to TAKE ACTION immediately, it’s critical that Congress hears your voice now.
Thank you all for participating in this CALL TO ACTION. Change cannot happen without you!

Sincerely,
AMA Government Affairs Team
