ABOUT AMA CHARTERED CLUBS

The Academy established a program in the mid-1960s for local AMA members to join together as a group and secure use of private, commercial or public property for flying sites. This was structured under the concept of organized groups, which were identified as AMA Chartered Clubs. Today, the Academy provides liability coverage to approximately 2,400 chartered clubs throughout the United States.

It is the policy of the Academy of Model Aeronautics, Inc. that membership in all chartered clubs shall be available without regard to race, color, creed, national origin, gender, age, or disability.

Chartered clubs are also eligible for additional programs such as flying site assistance and grants, Introductory Pilot Program, frequency monitoring and sound measuring assistance, model building curriculum known as the Delta Dart program, and The AMA Insider.
