The Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA), the nation’s largest organization for model aircraft enthusiasts, has partnered with AirMap, an airspace management platform for unmanned aircraft.
The AMA has a long history of safe, responsible flight and is dedicated to the advancement and safeguarding of model aircraft activities. Now with AirMap, the AMA has the ability to increase existing education efforts and provide sUAS pilots with the knowledge that they need to operate within the rules and regulations of the national airspace.
“AMA is excited about our new partnership with AirMap. The tools that AirMap provides will be a real asset in helping to educate our members about sUAS and help ensure that we continue to fly safely and responsibly,” said Dave Mathewson, AMA executive director.
“Having begun my aviation career as a modeler, I know first-hand the immense value AMA provides hobbyist UAS operators,” said Ben Marcus, CEO of AirMap. “We’re excited to partner with AMA to bring its members the most accurate, up-to-date airspace intelligence for planning and flying their missions.”
With the AirMap web, iOS, and Android apps, AMA pilots can:
- Locate an AMA club flying field.
- View airspace rules tailored to the context of their missions.
- Plan and manage flights, including future flights.
