participation in any model operations.
9) Children under 6 years old are only allowed on the flight line
as a pilot or while under flight instruction.
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 estab-
lished 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 the 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) I will not knowingly operate my model within three miles of
any pre-existing flying site except in accordance with the fre-
quency sharing agreement listed below in this paragraph. Flying
sites separated by three miles or more are considered safe from
site-to site interference, even when both sites use the same fre-
quencies. 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 deter-
mine 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 associ-
ated with AMA Clubs, or (3) two or more individual AMA mem-
bers, Document Number 551*.
6) For Combat, distance between combat engagement line and
spectator line will be 500 feet per cubic inch of engine displace-
ment. (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; nor should any part of the model other
than the landing gear, intentionally touch the ground, except
while landing.
10) All officials, callers, and contestants must properly wear hel-
mets, which are OSHA, DOT, ANSI, SNELL, OR NOCSAE
approved or comparable standard while on the race course with
aircraft(s) in flight.
Organized RC Racing Event
11) An RC racing event, whether or not an AMA Rule Book
event, is one in which model aircraft compete in flight over a pre-
scribed course with the objective of finishing the course faster to
determine the winner.
A. In every organized racing event in which contestants,
callers and officials are on the same course:
1. All officials will be off the course except for the starter
and their assistant.
2. “On the course” is defined to mean any area beyond the
pilot/staging area where actual flying takes place.
B. I will not fly my model aircraft in any organized racing
event which does not comply with paragraph A above or which
allows models over 20 pounds unless that competition event is
AMA sanctioned.
C. Distance from the pylon to the nearest spectator (line) will
be in accordance with the current Competition Regulations under
the RC Pylon Racing section for the specific event pending two
or three pylon course layout.
12) R/C Night Flying is limited to low performance models (less
than 100 m.p.h.). The models must be equipped with a lighting
system that clearly defines the aircrafts attitude at all times.
