Join the Academy of Model Aeronautics, referred to as the AMA. This organization provides oversight, and importantly, insurance, to protect you, the club, and the public.

Step 2
Understand the basic rules for how to fly safely by taking the FAA TRUST (The Recreational Uas Safety Test) course, provided by the AMA. It's FREE.
Step 3
If you want to fly something heavier than 250 grams, and/or faster than 60 MPH, you'll need to register with the FAA.
An Identification number will be assigned to you, and that number must be labeled somewhere on your aircraft where it can be seen.
Step 4
SCA’s airfield has been officially recognized by the FAA as a FAA Remote Identification Area (FRIA).
If your aircraft does not comply with Remote ID, you are only allowed to fly within FRIA designated airspace,
and that special airspace is only granted to clubs like ours, so JOIN us!
Step 5
Join the South Carroll Aeromodslers! Applications are available to download. Be sure to download all the documents. You must obtain your official membership card prior to exercising flying privileges.
