abstract
  • The Academy of Model Aeronautics, based in Muncie, Indiana, USA, is a non-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of model aviation as a recognized sport as well as a recreational activity. It is the largest organization of its kind with a current membership of more than 137,000 and dwindling lower every year. Founded in 1936, the AMA is the official national body for model aviation in the United States. They sanction more than a thousand model competitions throughout the country each year, charter more than 2500 model airplane clubs and offer contest sanctioning, liability insurance and the procurement of flying sites. They certify official model flying records as well. All AMA-chartered clubs require their flying members to purchase AMA memberships for said liability insurance. In order to be covered by their insurance an AMA member does not need to fly at a chartered club's flying site, but members have to follow their guidelines. AMA's insurance is an add-on provided by a member's existing homeowner's insurance. AMA organizes the annual National Aeromodeling Championships, the world's largest model airplane competition. Given the unique nature of model aviation insofar as it requires both airspace as well as frequency allocation for radio control, the AMA serves as a liaison with both the Federal Aviation Administration and Federal Communications Commission, and has the American Radio Relay League as an additional partner. As an associate member of the National Aeronautic Association, the AMA is recognized by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the world governing body of all aviation activity.
