A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying aircraft capable of sustained flight
in the atmosphere. It may not exceed limitations of this code and is intended exclusively
for sport, recreation and/or competition. All model flights must be conducted in accor-
dance with this safety code and any additional rules specific to the flying site.
1. Model aircraft will not be flown:
(a) In a careless or reckless manner.
(b) At a location where model aircraft activities are prohibited.
2. Model aircraft pilots will:
(a) Yield the right of way to all man carrying aircraft.
(b) See and avoid all aircraft and a spotter must be used when appropriate. (AMA
Document #540-D-See and Avoid Guidance.)
(c) Not fly higher than approximately 400 feet above ground level within three (3)
miles of an airport, without notifying the airport operator.
(d) Not interfere with operations and traffic patterns at any airport, heliport or
seaplane base except where there is a mixed use agreement.
(e) Not exceed a takeoff weight, including fuel, of 55 pounds unless in compliance
with the AMA Large Model Aircraft program. (AMA Document 520-A)
(f) Ensure the aircraft is identified with the name and address or AMA number of the
owner on the inside or affixed to the outside of the model aircraft. (This does not
apply to model aircraft flown indoors).
(g) Not operate aircraft with metal-blade propellers or with gaseous boosts except
for helicopters operated under the provisions of AMA Document #555.
(h) Not operate model aircraft while under the influence of alcohol or while using
any drug which could adversely affect the pilot’s ability to safely control the
model.
(i) Not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic devices which explode or burn, or
any device which propels a projectile or drops any object that creates a hazard
to persons or property.
Exceptions:
• Free Flight fuses or devices that burn producing smoke and are securely
attached to the model aircraft during flight.
• Rocket motors (using solid propellant) up to a G-series size may be used
provided they remain attached to the model during flight. Model rockets
may be flown in accordance with the National Model Rocketry Safety
Code but may not be launched from model aircraft.
• Officially designated AMA Air Show Teams (AST) are authorized to use
devices and practices as defined within the Team AMA Program Docu-
ment (AMA Document #718).
(j) Not operate a turbine-powered aircraft, unless in compliance with the AMA turbine
regulations. (AMA Document #510-A).
