The Courtyard By Muncie at Horizon Convention Center has blocks of rooms reserved for all of our incoming guests. We have also setup a "Meet and Greet" on Monday Evening between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm where guests of the hotel will receive two (2) free drink vouchers (4 total per room) for free Beer Wine or Soda. This will be a great time to meet our fellow competitors and staff and all involved in the IWC are welcome to attend. You are not required to be a guest of the hotel to attend this Meet and Greet. The Courtyard By Muncie Marriott is also connected to the Horizon Convention center where the Banquet, Trophy Presentations and Closing Ceremonies will be held on Saturday September 8th. Federal RegistrationOn December 12, 2017, President Trump signed legislation that reversed the earlier court ruling in the John Taylor case and restored the FAA’s UAS registration requirement, including for AMA members.
AMA believes that registration makes sense at some level, but has pushed for a more reasonable threshold. While we address these issues, members will be legally required to comply with the FAA registration requirement. Following are some frequently asked questions as they pertain to foreign nationals visiting the U.S. Answers are based on the information available at time of press and are subject to change. Q: If I already registered, do I have register again? A: You will not have to register again since this bill simply reverses the John Taylor case. We will share more as details emerge. Q: Do I need to register again if I requested a refund and asked to be removed from the registration list? A: You will need to re-register only if you received FAA confirmation that your request to be removed the database was honored. Q: I did not request a refund/removal from registration database, will my registration number and expiration date stay the same? A: Yes, your registration number and expiration date will remain the same unless you requested that the FAA remove your information from the database, and received FAA conformation of this removal. Q: How do I register? A: You can register at https://registermyuas.faa.gov. If you need assistance, please call 877 396 4636. Q: Do I have to register every aircraft? A: You only need to register your name, physical address, and email address once. You will receive a single FAA registration number which is to be placed inside all of your aircraft along with your AMA number. Q: Do I need to list both my AMA number and my federal registration number on my aircraft? A: Yes, you need to list both your AMA number and Federal registration number on your aircraft. We are advocating to allow members to use their AMA numbers. We believe an AMA membership already meets the intent of registration, but at this time place both numbers on your aircraft. Q: Should clubs, contest directors, or event leaders require all pilots be registered? A: No, we are not asking our clubs or contest directors to police UAS Registration. That decision is up to each individual club and event leader. Q: I am an Affiliate Member, do not live in the US, or I am not a US Citizen. How do I register? A:Everyone, including foreign nationals and tourists, who operate a UAS for hobby or recreational purposes outdoors in the U.S. must use the FAA’s online registration system. These non-U.S. citizens or non-permanent U.S. residents will receive the same registration certificate as U.S. Citizens or permanent U.S. residents. However, this certificate will function as a “recognition of ownership” document. This document is required by the Department of Transportation for foreign nationals to operate legally in the US. Visiting pilots can only use a computer with a United States IP address to register. When arriving in the states, pilots can register using a US computer at a hotel, guest home, or even at AMA HQ. For assistance you can call 877 396 4636 or email [email protected]. Q: What happens if I don’t register? A: According to the FAA, failure to register an unmanned aircraft may result in regulatory and criminal sanctions. Q: I do not want to give my credit card information over the internet or have a computer? What should I do? A: As for members who cannot or do not want to submit credit card information online, the FAA has agreed to accept gift credit cards such as Visa or Mastercard. You can purchase these gift cards, which closely resemble a credit card, through many retailers. Q: Is my registration information publicly available? A: No. At this time, the registration database is not searchable. Well, the 2018 Worlds are coming closer, and we are updating the site regularly with the addition of pilots as qualifications are finalized around the world and Judges as they are selected. While still 14 months away the September 4th 2018 is approaching rapidly.
This is an exciting time for IMAC as we get closer to the 2nd World Championship. Do you want to be a part of it? Your IMAC Board of Directors. In late October 2014, the IMAC BOD voted to continue and update the IMAC Worlds website. IMAC has paid the required fee to keep the "domain name" IMACWORLDS intact and will continue to hold it for future World Championships.
THANK YOU...to all the volunteers, sponsors, and event staff who so willingly gave of themselves to bring the first IMAC World Championship to a successful conclusion. Wayne As time is getting closer, don't forget to check the schedule of events on the IMAC Worlds Site
Also, several folks have asked. The first unknown will be handed out at the pilots meeting on Tuesday. We will then have the opening ceremonies at Site 3 There will be no flying on either sight Tuesday evening All other unknowns will be handed out the following evenings. We Will allow flying on Site 3 in the evening if you have not picked up your unknown. There will be NO flying on site 4. If there is flying on site 4, or a copy of the unknown gets anywhere near the flight line on Site 3. The pilot will be disqualified from the event. Just a heads up. If you are arriving or going to the IAC this weekend, there is a warbird event going on. They are charging an entry fee. Just let the folks know where they are collecting fees that you are there for the IMAC event and there will be no charge. Of course you are welcome to support the warbird event as well! |
