Additionally, AMA and the FAA found paths for alternate Remote ID exemptions, which were issued to those clubs that could not obtain a standard FRIA. This bodes well for new applicants, but also paves the way for a much smoother renewal process once FRIAs are near their standard 4-year expiration date. To further aid that efficiency, AMA has moved the FRIA process internally from the Club Services department to Government Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This move will not affect how members apply for their club\u2019s FRIA, but simply allows AMA staff to process FRIA applications and advise clubs on navigating required airspace and property documentation more effectively. AMA remains devoted to removing obstacles and creating a smoother experience for members to fly safely as they always have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To remain current with the most recent government-related news, regularly <a href=\"https:\/\/amablog.modelaircraft.org\/amagov\/\">visit the AMA Government Affairs blog<\/a>.
