Joining
Before beginning the steps below, we advise you to send us a message through our Contact Form and arrange a meet up. If satisfied you can proceed by obtaining a, 'UAS Operator Certificate' and and signing up to MACI (Model Aeronautics Council of Ireland). If under (16) years of age, a parent or guardian can register as an Operator on your behalf.
Note: If intending to fly outside of MACI approved sites, the 'IAA Proof of Online Training Certificate' may also be needed. In this situation, it is also advisable to obtain separate insurance cover.
UAS OPERATOR CERTIFICATE
Most drone pilots will need a, 'UAS Operator Certificate'. This step (Step 1) is often the most tricky part for new members. An initial sign up to the My-SRS portal is required beforehand. Please also read the latest MACI Guidance for IAA Registration, as they give a detailed description of the process.
Note: If joining a club through MACI, you may bypass the requirement for the, 'IAA Proof of Online Training Certificate' - availing of a sustantial cost saving.
*See video below for the initial My-SRS sign up.
CLUB & MACI MEMBERSHIP
When you have registered as a 'UAS Operator', signed up with MACI and uploaded the 'UAS Operator Certificate' to your MACI profile - send us a request to join by choosing our club from the list.
Once received, we will send you a form. It will list the club fees, and give details on how to pay. After joining, you can return to your MACI Profile and complete MACI Membership.
Note: Insurance cover is tied to having, up to date membership of the, 'Model Aeronautics Council of Ireland' and is only applicable to approved sites.
