To Be a Flying Member You Must:

  1. Belong to the Academy of Model Aeronautics.  The AMA is a nationwide, community-based organization (CBO) that promotes safe and responsible flying practices and, among many other things, provides R/C clubs and its members with personal injury and liability insurance.
  2. Obtain an FAA registration number.  Registration costs $5 and is good for three years.  Starting March 16, 2024, the FAA will be enforcing the Remote ID rule which requires RC pilots to obtain a Remote ID broadcast module which must be placed in or on your aircraft.  Here is an example of an FAA approved broadcast module:  Remote ID broadcast module.  Once you receive your broadcast module, you'll need to register it on the FAA website using its unique serial number.  Clicking here will allow you to get an FAA registration number.  You'll have to create an FAA account with your email and a password.  For Recreational Fliers, you'll want to choose, "I fly under the 'The Exception for Recreational Flyers.'"  If you have questions regarding the FAA registration process please contact Club Secretary, Marl Bell. 
  3. Pass The Recreational Unmanned Aircraft Systems Test (TRUST) found here.
  4. Read and understand the County of Siskiyou – Letter of Agreement in its entirety and take special note of Exhibit C - Siskiyou County R/C'ers Operating Rules (pages 14-15) and Exhibit A - Siskiyou County R/C’ers Operations Area (page 12).  You can access these pages directly here:  Exhibit C, Exhibit A  
  5. Read, understand and agree to conduct yourself in accordance with our Club's Bylaws.
