Be a member, in good standing, of the Academy of Model Aircraft (AMA). Verification will be automatically verified when application for club membership submitted.
Additional items required for membership, besides dues, is a user name, password, member name, and email address. [User name can be simple as first initial and last name (example: jsmith). Password could be your AMA number.] Most other items on application form are optional. Would prefer the type(s) of models flown and your best guess at your piloting skills.
NOTES: With the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) interpretation that an approved FRIA and the FAA Registration are two separate items, the AMA is not requiring FAA registration to fly at an approved FRIA flying field.
The FAA requires that every UAV pilot must take, and complete, the FAA TRUST test.
For flying at other than an FAA approved FRIA flying site, it is recommend every UAV pilot register with FAA, in order to be in compliance with current FAA regulations.
