AMA is excited to announce that we have been granted a National Authorization allowing our members at AMA club sites in Class G airspace to operate above 400 feet above ground level (AGL) for routine, day-to-day activities. Your flying site, Lazy Eight RC Club Inc – Knoblauch Rd, has been granted a 700 foot altitude limit.This is an exciting step toward easing restrictions for our members who enjoy this great hobby. As we march forward, AMA will continue to work with Congress and the FAA to further ensure that our members across the country can enjoy the freedom of flight.You may view the National Authorization here. Please note that operations above 400 feet in Class G airspace require that your AMA club retains this copy of the 2025-CBO-SPL001 National Authorization, as well as meet the outlined criteria within the Authorization. Club officers should make sure to keep a copy of the authorization on file with the club’s records. Additionally, AMA will be publishing an FAQ guide shortly to address questions and/or concerns members may have regarding the authorization.Club officers can access their current site listings here. If you have questions don’t hesitate to reach out at amagov@modelaircraft.org or (765) 287-1256.

Best regards,AMA Government Affairs Team
