Great news everyone our field is now approved as FRIA field.

Effective 09/26/2023 unless you are flying in a FRIA approved field drones must have a RemoteID.

Learn more about FRIA: FAA-Recognized Identification Areas (FRIAs) | Federal Aviation Administration

What is a FRIA?

“Drones Without Remote ID can fly in FAA-Recognized Identification Area or FRIA”
A FRIA is a defined geographic area where drones can be flown without Remote ID equipment. Both the drone and the pilot must be located within the FRIA’s boundaries throughout the operation. In addition, the pilot of the drone must be able to see it at all times throughout the duration of the flight

The approval can be found under about our club menu link. Link to Approval

If you are going to invite a person to join the club, the AMA has a program called “Sign 3 Fly Free”. If you sign up 3 people and they use your AMA id as a referral you can get you next year renewal for free.

More details are on the website: https://www.modelaircraft.org/membership/sign-3-fly-free-program

We have submitted our FRIA application to the AMA who will in turn submit it to the FAA.
Once approved by the FAA, club members will be able to continue to fly at our field without
having to purchase additional equipment mandated by Remote ID. Remote ID is scheduled to
go into effect September 2023.
