NEWS FLASH!
1-700ft See FAA UAS Data on a Map
AMA is excited to announce that we have been granted a National Authorization allowing our members at AMA club sites in Class G airspace to operate above 400 feet above ground level (AGL) for routine, day-to-day activities. Based on your location in Class G airspace, your site will have a new altitude limit of up to 700 feet or 1,200 feet AGL. To determine at what altitude you can fly up to at a flying site, use this guide.
This is an exciting step toward easing restrictions for our members who enjoy this great hobby. As we march forward, AMA will continue to work with Congress and the FAA to further ensure that our members across the country can enjoy the freedom of flight.
Members can view the National Authorization here. Please note that operations above 400 feet in Class G airspace are not permitted until the flying site obtains a copy of this authorization, as well as meet the outlined criteria within the Authorization. Club officers should make sure to keep a copy of the authorization on file with the club’s records. Additionally, AMA will be publishing an FAQ guide to address questions and/or concerns that members might have regarding the authorization.

Remember: It is the RC Pilot’s duty to See And Avoid all manned general aviation aircraft regardless of altitude.
