[NSRCA-discussion] FAA Registration begins December 21

Mon Dec 14 18:51:05 AKST 2015

No.  It's for ALL MODEL AIRCRAFT, including control line (tethered
drones).  We are totally screwed!!!

>> A. Yes, anyone who operates your drone must have the Certificate of
Aircraft Registration in their possession. You can give them a paper copy,
email it to them, or they can show it electronically from the registration
website.

If they just took AMA/CAA/BMFA/etc. #'s as valid registration they would
solve for the same thing.  If they really wanted to, they could just ask
AMA to provide data regarding their active members and impose a constraint
that AMA #'s can't be changed or reused.

according to the FAA, you still must register and cannot fly unregistered
here.  I believe Rex pointed out why that'd be a pain.

work together here, hopefully in a spirit of partnership rather than an
adversarial relationship.

what was the whole reason behind registration?   :-)

are going to have to make sure each entrant is registered or offer a way to
have them register at the field.  The registration # does not replace the
AMA # but must be contained in or on the model and accessible without
tools.  Heck, AMA clubs are going to have to make sure each person flying
on a Sunday afternoon is registered.  Within the NSRCA, I hope to address
this at our next board meeting to try to get y'all some answers as to how
we could/should handle pattern events.  They are AMA events though so
hopefully we can get some answers for y'all through the S.I.G.
