8. I will not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic

devices which explode burn, or propel a projectile of any

kind. Exceptions include Free Flight fuses or devices that

burn producing smoke and are securely attached to the

model aircraft during flight. Rocket motors up to a G-

series size may be used, provided they remain firmly

attached to the model aircraft during flight. Model

rockets may be flown in accordance with the National

Model Rocketry Safety Code; however ,they may not be

launched from model aircraft.Officially designated

AMAAir Show Teams (AST) are authorized to use

devices and practices as defined within the Air Show

Advisory Committee Document.

9. I will not operate my model aircraft while under

the influence of alcohol or within eight (8) hours of

having consumed alcohol.

10. I will not operate my model aircraft while using

any drug which could adversely affect my ability to

safely control my model aircraft.

11. Children under six (6) years old are only allowed

on a flightline or in a flight area as a pilot or while

under flight instruction.

12. When and where required by rule, helmets must

be properly worn and fastened. They must be

OSHA, DOT, ANSI, SNELL or NOCSAE approved

or comply with comparable standards.

RADIO CONTROL

1. All model flying shall be conducted in a manner to

avoid over flight of unprotected people.

2. I will have completed a successful radio equipment

ground-range check before the first flight of a new

or repaired model aircraft.

3. I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of

spectators until I become a proficient flier, unless I

am assisted by an experienced pilot.

4. At all flying sites a line must be established, in front of

which all flying takes place. Only personnel associated

with flying the model aircraft are allowed at or in front of

the line. In the case of airshows demonstrations straight

line must be established. An area away from the line

must be maintained for spectators. Intentional flying

behind the line is prohibited.

5. I will operate my model aircraft using only radio-

control frequencies currently allowed by the Federal

Communications Commission (FCC). Only individuals

properly licensed by the FCC are authorized to operate

equipment on Amateur Band frequencies.

6. I will not knowingly operate my model aircraft within

three (3) miles of any preexisting flying site without a

frequency-management agreement. A frequency

management agreement may be an allocation of

frequencies for each site, a day use agreement between

sites, or testing which determines that no interference

exists. A frequency-management agreement may exist

between two or more AMA chartered clubs, AMA clubs

and individual AMA members, or individual AMA

members. Frequency-management agreements,

including an interference test report if the agreement

indicates no interference exists, will be signed by all

parties and copies provided to AMA Headquarters.

7. With the exception of events flown under official AMA

rules, no powered model may be flown outdoors closer

than 25 feet to any individual, except for the pilot and

located at the flightline.

8. Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person

touch a model aircraft in flight while it is still under

power, except to divert it from striking an individual.

including fuel, is 55 pounds, except for those flown

under the AMA Experimental Aircraft Rules.

3. I will abide by this Safety Code and all rules

established for the flying site I use. I will not willfully

fly my model aircraft in a reckless and/or

dangerous manner.

4. I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events,

air shows, or model demonstrations until it has

been proven airworthy.

5. I will not fly my model aircraft higher than

approximately 400 feet above ground level, when within

three (3) miles of an airport without notifying the airport

operator. I will yield the rightof-way and avoid flying in

the proximity of fullscale aircraft, utilizing a spotter when

appropriate.

6. I will not fly my model aircraft unless it is identified

with my name and address, or AMA number, inside or

affixed to the outside of the model aircraft. This does not

apply to model aircraft flown indoors.

propellers or with gaseous boosts (other than air), nor

will I operate model aircraft with fuels containing

tetranitromethane or hydrazine.
