Then they just make themselves toadies of "The Man".  

Probably the same people who reported their neighbors for having a still

I agree John..but in the case of the club I belong to...the BOD will make it
theirs and the club business to ensure that all members are registered with
the FAA and verified by the club.

On my plane, the number will be accessible without tools, per the rule, but
unless asked by an FAA official, I'm not offering to show where it is to
anyone. 

I need to have my registration with me, and I will, but no one gets to see
it. As the rule says, this is between me and the FAA. 

Not up to the clubs or the AMA to police individuals on behalf of the FAA,
so identity theft should not be a problem.

Speaking of use cases, perhaps I missed it in the flurry of emails
yesterday, but has anyone thought about the identity theft risk that the FAA
is creating?  By registering the pilot and not having unique identification
numbers for each model that are assigned to an owner, it sets up the
scenario for anyone else to use your number on their model and cause
virtually unlimited problems for you, anywhere, anytime.  To help reduce
this risk, at the very least, the numbers would have to be provided by the
FAA with some sort of marking, holography, whatever to at least raise the
difficulty of identity theft from zero to something above zero.  You can
apparently use a felt marker to scribble your own numbers as it stands now. 

Better yet, from an identity theft perspective at least, there should be
unique numbers for each model provided to the owner.  This, of course would
drive costs way up and incur delays.  

We should put the central planners in charge of every aspect of our lives
now, should we not?  They've really shown their true colors on this one.
Incompetent boobs, every last one of them.

Honestly, I think thats one of the use-cases the FAA didn't think through
real well...

My belief is that this whole thing is about creating a sense of
accountability for the "rogue" users (I'm not willing to give them the term
pilot because they don't deserve it) who do stupid shit like flying around a
wildfire and preventing Calfire airborne response for 20+ minutes, etc.
It's about dealing with the anti-AMA guys who fly 120+mph EDFs weighing 6+
lbs over an active soccer game at a local park, it's about dealing with the
dipshits who fly their drone on the takeoff/approach path of an active full
scale airport in hopes of "cool footage".  The AMA field flyers are the
least of the FAA's worries and we're blowing it out of proportion.  Yes,
it's a stupid regulation, but let's comply where we can and show ourselves
to be the responsible modelers the AMA says we are.

For the foreign guys, first of all, sorry for the needless red tape (though
I think a similar thing is coming for the BMFA guys in the UK and it would
not surprise me to see a more sensible version of this from the Canadian
guys).  But if I were CD'ing a contest and some guys came down from the
Great White North, I'd happily hook them up with some temporary form of my
own registration # to put in their planes for the purposes of flying at the
contest because I know them to be responsible pilots.

Boaters register their pleasure craft, fishermen & hunters buy licenses,
some folks even register their firearms! So what? Are we going to give up
our hobby just because of a tiny pice of red tape? 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.

Guys. we already do ALL of this.  Our AMA # is on the plane, we follow
safety rules, blah blah blah.  This is a very minor inconvenience and if the
AMA proposal to use our AMA# for our registration number it won't even be
that.

I don't think I'd register my planes any more than I'd register my guns.

Too bad AMA has no clout like the NRA.

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.

Have a look at the link and prepare to be upset.....
