The former agreement between the Model Aeronautics Association of Canada (MAAC) and AMA is no longer in effect because of recent changes in the Canadian Aviation Regulations (Canada\u2019s counterpart to the FAA) Part IX and its exemption granted to MAAC and its members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to fly model aircraft in Canada as a US resident, you must have a MAAC membership. There are two options to join MAAC. You can purchase a temporary 90-day foreign membership for $40 CAD or a full membership for $80 CAD. Please visit MAAC\u2019s website for more information<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective January 1, 2022, AMA will require MAAC members to join AMA for coverage fly at our fields and events. Affiliate membership for non-US permanent residents is $36 per year and includes insurance and competitive privileges. Click here to sign up as an AMA Affiliate member.<\/a> Non-US citizens are required to follow the same model aircraft regulations that US citizens are required to follow, including registering at FAA\u2019s Drone Zone<\/a> and taking The Recreational UAS Safety Test at www.modelaircraft.org\/trust<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
