00 Official AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code
GENERAL
1).I.will.not.fly.my.model.aircraft.in.sanctioned.events,.air.shows.or.model.flying.demonstrations.until.it.has.been.
proven.to.be.airworthy.by.having.been.previously,.successfully.flight.tested .
2).I.will.not.fly.my.model.higher.than.approximately.400.feet.within.3.miles.of.an.airport.without.notifying.the.
airport.operator ..I.will.give.right-of-way.and.avoid.flying.in.the.proximity.of.full-scale.aircraft ..Where.necessary,.an.
observer.shall.be.utilized.to.supervise.flying.to.avoid.having.models.fly.in.the.proximity.of.full-scale.aircraft .
3).Where.established,.I.will.abide.by.the.safety.rules.for.the.flying.site.I.use,.and.I.will.not.willfully.or.deliberately.fly.
my.models.in.a.careless,.reckless.and/or.dangerous.manner .
4).The.maximum.takeoff.weight.of.a.model.is.55.pounds,.except.models.flown.under.Experimental.Aircraft.rules .
5).I.will.not.fly.my.model.unless.it.is.identified.with.my.name.and.address.or.AMA.number.on.or.in.the.model ..(This.
does.not.apply.to.models.while.being.flown.indoors .)
6).I.will.not.operate.models.with.metal-bladed.propellers.or.with.gaseous.boosts,.in.which.gases.
other.than.air.enter.their.internal.combustion.engine(s);.nor.will.I.operate.models.with.extremely.hazardous.fuels.
such.as.those.containing.tetranitromethane.or.hydrazine .
RADIO CONTROL
1).I.will.have.completed.a.successful.radio.equipment.ground.range.check.before.the.first.flight.of.a.new.or..
repaired.model .
2).I.will.not.fly.my.model.aircraft.in.the.presence.of.spectators.until.I.become.a.qualified.flier,.unless.assisted.by.an.
experienced.helper .
3).At.all.flying.sites.a.straight.or.curved.line(s).must.be.established.in.front.of.which.all.flying.takes.place.with.the.
other.side.for.spectators ..Only.personnel.involved.with.flying.the.aircraft.are.allowed.at.or.in.front.of.the.flight.
line ..Intentional.flying.behind.the.flight.line.is.prohibited .
4).I.will.operate.my.model.using.only.radio.control.frequencies.currently.allowed.by.the.Federal..
Communications.Commission ..(Only.properly.licensed.Amateurs.are.authorized.to.operate.equipment.on..
Amateur.Band.frequencies .)
5)..Flying.sites.separated.by.three.miles.or.more.are.considered.safe.from.site-to.site.interference,.even.when.
both.sites.use.the.same.frequencies ..Any.circumstances.under.three.miles.separation.require.a.frequency.
management.arrangement,.which.may.be.either.an.allocation.of.specific.frequencies.for.each.site.or.testing.to.
determine.that.freedom.from.interference.exists ..Allocation.plans.or.interference.test.reports.shall.be.signed.
by.the.parties.involved.and.provided.to.AMA.Headquarters ..Documents.of.agreement.and.reports.may.exist.
between.(1).two.or.more.AMA.Chartered.Clubs,.(2).AMA.clubs.and.individual.AMA.members.not.associated.with.
AMA.Clubs,.or.(3).two.or.more.individual.AMA.members .
6).For.Combat,.distance.between.combat.engagement.line.and.spectator.line.will.be.500.feet.per.cubic.inch..
of.engine.displacement ..(Example:. .40.engine.=.200.feet .);.electric.motors.will.be.based.on.equivalent.
combustion.engine.size ..Additional.safety.requirements.will.be.per.the.RC.Combat.section.of.the.current.
Competition.Regulations .
7).At.air.shows.or.model.flying.demonstrations,.a.single.straight.line.must.be.established,.one.side.of.which.is.for.
flying,.with.the.other.side.for.spectators .
8).With.the.exception.of.events.flown.under.AMA.Competition.rules,.after.launch,.except.for.pilots.or.helpers.being.
used,.no.powered.model.may.be.flown.closer.than.25.feet.to.any.person .
9).Under.no.circumstances.may.a.pilot.or.other.person.touch.a.powered.model.in.flight .
