or property.
Exceptions:
• Free Flight fuses or devices that burn producing
smoke and are securely attached to the model
aircraft during fl ight.
• Rocket motors (using solid propellant) up to a
G-series size may be used provided they remain

may be fl own in accordance with the National Model
Rocketry Safety Code but may not be launched from
model aircraft.

authorized to use devices and practices as defi ned
within the Team AMA Program Document (AMA
Document #718).

approved or comply with comparable standards.
B. RADIO CONTROL (RC)
1. All pilots shall avoid fl ying directly over unprotected people, vessels,
vehicles or structures and shall avoid endangerment of life and
property of others.
2. A successful radio equipment ground-range check in accordance
with manufacturer’s recommendations will be completed before the
fi rst fl ight of a new or repaired model aircraft.
3. At all fl ying sites a safety line(s) must be established in front of which
all fl ying takes place (AMA Document #706-Recommended Field
Layout):
(a) Only personnel associated with fl ying the model aircraft are
allowed at or in front of the safety line.
(b) At air shows or demonstrations, a straight safety line must be
established.
(c) An area away from the safety line must be maintained for
spectators.
(d) Intentional fl ying behind the safety line is prohibited.

the pilot and the pilot’s helper(s) located at the fl ight line.
7. Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch a model
aircraft in fl ight while it is still under power, except to divert it from
striking an individual. This does not apply to model aircraft fl own
indoors.

clear view of the model’s attitude and orientation at all times.
9. The pilot of a RC model aircraft shall:
(a) Maintain control during the entire fl ight, maintaining visual
contact without enhancement other than by corrective lenses
prescribed for the pilot.
(b) Fly using the assistance of a camera or First-Person View

Please see your local or regional modeling association’s guidelines
for proper, safe operation of your model aircraft.
