Just want to let you know that the AMA does have recreational flyers back. Their insurance policy coverages are real and they do make payouts (the historical list of years of payments made to defend fliers) is a document they have open to members that you can see.
Their insurance policy covers you where ever you fly as long as its for recreation and you are following their safety codes. The costs for the insurance is included in the membership runs about $70.00 per year. If you want to start your own flying club they have been very willing to help and give advice.
I appreciated the opportunity to share this information with Phantom Pilots.
Here is a quote from an email I received from AMA.
Good morning,
Yes, our membership covers you where ever you fly as long as you are following the safety code and flying recreationally. If I can assist further, please let me know.
Have a great day!
