District II Report - 2004/03
SEVERAL CLUBS in our district are
involved with introducing model aviation to
members of their communities, young and
old alike. Many include not only programs to
teach someone to fly but to build as well.
District II Report - 2004/11
As this month’s edition of Model Aviation
reaches your door, the annual AMA
District II Fly-In will be only a week or
two away. Things are coming together
nicely, and if we can catch a break with the
weather, it should be a great weekend.
President’s Perspective - 2009/10
It’s been a busy summer! The 13th FAI
World Championship for Model
Helicopters has just concluded and the
AMA staff is working hard to turn Site 4
around at the International Aeromodeling
Center (IAC) for the annual International
Radio Controlled Helicopter Association
(IRCHA) Jamboree.
President’s Perspective
The past several weeks have been busy
and I have a number of good things to
tell you about this month.
I attended a luncheon in Washington D.C.
where AMA’s Education Committee
chairperson, Dr. Gordon Schimmel, was
presented with the 2009 Mervin K. Strickler Jr.
Aerospace Education Leadership Award by the
National Coalition for Aviation Education
(NCAE) for his work with AMA’s education
outreach programs. Recipients are selected
based on significant contributions or
noteworthy achievements they have made in
the aviation- and aerospace-education fields.
President’s Perspective - 2011/02
The FAA process to create regulation
for the operation of small unmanned
aircraft systems (sUAS) continues into
2011. There has been much speculation about
what will be contained in the sUAS proposed
ruling that is scheduled to be released as a
notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM)
sometime in the summer of 2011.
