[NSRCA-discussion] FAA Registration begins December 21

[Anthony Cornacchione]

Legit question with an unknown answer:  how will this impact international (IMAC Worlds in Muncie 2018) NATS with international competitors (NATS News this year had a nice write up) and our local contests which have had the occasional Canadian wander south?

Nope! Just keep flying. The bad actors who misuse their aircraft will run afoul local authorities sure enough, that's their problem, not ours.  We need to continue to set the good example though our good flying.  Good flying will carry the day.

>> Hasn’t that private information ship already sailed?  We all register cars and think nothing of it.  Heck, we even took classes, got educated, and were tested for a license before we could own or operate a car and we have to renew that every four years and prove we’re still physically capable (minimal proof admittedly).  Personally not sure a gun should be much different but don’t want to start that discussion (especially since I’m generally pro gun…just not pro redneck hill jack survivalist conspiracy theorist) but not registering to fly airplanes?  Really?    We trade more info internationally downloading a Facebook app.    Also, we’re already registered… just with the AMA, not the USA.  And yes, the AMA is trying to make that our ONLY registration, but that’s just a proposal at this point.

>> Well, here it is boys and girls.  It's official and starts next Monday.  The link is for the FAQ's of what's happening. 
>>  
>>  You only have to register once and you don't have to individually register all of your models.
>> You must be able to provide proof of registration and have it on you when flying.
>> You must have your Registration # (not going to be a N number) in your airplane where it is legible and accessible without the use of tools (aka under your canopy).  
>> If you sell a model, you should update your records. (I don't completely understand this if we aren't registering all of our models individually but, OK)
>> Registration is $5 but you'll get that back if you register in the first 30 days, I believe.
