The reminder email does say to ignore it if you renew through your club. Not everyone reads all of an email though.

No you can't, you can get a vastly inferior insurance and no support for £30 or even £25. BMFA Subs is so much more than insurance though.

If its over 250gm it requires an Operator Id and the remote pilot needs a Flyer ID inthatcase. Unless it meets the requirements and specifications of being g a toy.
-
Almost certainly none, however it looks like they don't need to as it looks well under 250gm.
-
I spoke to the team at the CAA about their emails ending up in SPAM yesterday, they are looking in to that problem.
-
There was never a promise like that. There was the stated aim that subs would not be used to cover running costs which, on the whole, is how it has been. Of course now the bulk of the office functions are at the NC it's quite correct that some subs goes to cover that.

There is never AOB at AGMs and EGMs as all business should be notified in advance. The same should apply to club AGM's

Its now live to register to bid. https://nationalcentre.bmfa.org/auction#!/
-
Auction will be online and pre-bidding open in the next 30 minutes.

There is a lot of it about. It's more damaging than anything the CAA could dream up too.
-
The hard copy subscriptions price is set to cover the costs to do it subject to a minimum print run which has been exceeded. There is no loss per copy sent out.
-
Yep 465, and only 30 didn't sell.
-
Yes was a very long day, just this minute got home. It's always very satisfying when these things go well. They certainly give a few sleepless nights in advance. It was a bit of a double header with the AGM taking place on Saturday too. Thankfully all the tech held up well and the grey matter held up well too. Great job once again @Bruce CollinsonGreat working with you. See you in 3 weeks.

An update on issuing Flyer ID's at https://bmfa.org/flyer-ids-for-bmfa-members-update
-
Yes, your are opted in and on tonights upload
-
Yes, but only if the individual wants to provide the flyer ID details.
-
Should be.
-
You will need to have a Flyer ID, if you have an A test from before the date the BMFA can apply for one on your behalf, however you need to have given consent through the Opt-ins on the JustGo portal. Without the consent you will need to take the CAA DMARES test.
-
Just to clarify this. The emails were sent to those affected who had given consent by ticking the relevant Opt in on the Just Go portal. Those that haven't opted-in will need to arrange their Flyer ID directly with the CAA. We do not need to know if they have done this. It is their responsibility to ensure they are flying lawfully.
-
Not quite correct, you can fly under the BMFA Article 16 authorisation using a Flyer ID issued by the CAA after passing the DMARES test.
-
Yes the Flyer ID remains valid, the Operator and Remote Pilot are not necessarily the same person, or though for model flyers they usually are.
-
No it wasn't. You are confusing Op ID and Flyer ID.
