AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code
Effective January 1, 2018
A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying device capable of sustained flight within visual line of sight of the pilot or spotter(s). It
may not exceed limitations of this code and is intended exclusively for sport, recreation, education and/or competition. All model
flights must be conducted in accordance with this safety code and related AMA guidelines, any additional rules specific to the
flying site, as well as all applicable laws and regulations.
As an AMA member I agree:
• I will not fly a model aircraft in a careless or reckless
manner.
• I will not interfere with and will yield the right of way to all
human-carrying aircraftusing AMA’s See and Avoid Guid-
ance and a spotter when appropriate.
• I will not operate any model aircraft while I am under the
influence of alcohol or any drug that could adversely affect
my ability to safely control the model.
• I will avoid flying directly over unprotected people, moving
vehicles, and occupied structures.
• I will fly Free Flight (FF) and Control Line (CL) models in
compliance with AMA’s safety programming.
• I will maintain visual contact of an RC model aircraft without
enhancement other than corrective lenses prescribed to
me. When using an advanced flight system, such as an
autopilot, or flying First-Person View (FPV), I will comply
with AMA’s Advanced Flight System programming.
• I will only fly models weighing more than 55 pounds,
including fuel, if certified through AMA’s Large Model
Airplane Program.
• I will only fly a turbine-powered model aircraft in compli-
ance with AMA’s Gas Turbine Program.
• I will not fly a powered model outdoors closer than 25 feet
to any individual, except for myself or my helper(s) located
at the flightline, unless I am taking off and landing, or as
otherwise provided in AMA’s Competition Regulation.
• I will use an established safety line to separate all model
aircraft operations from spectators and bystanders.
