<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font face="Verdana" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Verdana;">I was curious about this procedure
last winter and did some research.<br>
The form is obtained from the AMA and is filled out in duplicate.<br>
The requester states his reason for asking to move back.<br>
He then has a CD and his AMA district contest board member sign it.<br>
You can find the contest board member list in the back of every other month's
Model Aviation or on the AMA website.<br>
After that it goes to your AMA district VP who forwards both forms on to Muncie after he signs them.<br>
AMA Muncie does not approve, disapprove, grant or deny these request.
They only place one copy on file<br>
and return the other copy to the requester.<br>
Done.<br>
As a CD I would sign anyone's request that was sincere for whatever the reason.<br>
I bet the contest board member would be the same.<br>
The AMA DVP will sign based on the previous recommendations.<br>

is a very specific exception that allows one to petition the AMA by submitting
a form that, once approved, allows reclassification to a lower class due to
various reasons including, but not limited to, disability, breaks from
flying, etc...</span></font></p>
