AMA Safety Code
Offical AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code
Effective January 1, 1999
Model flying MUST be in accordance with this Code in order for AMA Liability Protection to Apply
General
I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air shows, or model flying demonstrations until it has been proven airworthy by
having been previously, successfully flight tested.
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.
Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the flying site that I use, and I will not willfully and deliberately fly my models in a
careless, reckless, and/or dangerous manner.
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 in front of the flight line. Flying over the spectator side of
the line is prohibited, unless beyond the control of the pilot(s). In any case, the maximum permissible takeoff weight of the mode is
55 pounds.
At air shows or model flying demonstrations, a single straight line must be established, one side of which is for flying and the other
side for spectators. Only those persons accredited by the contest director or other appropriate official as necessary for flight operations
or as having duties or functions relating to the conduct of the show or demonstration are to be permitted on the flying side of the line.
The only exceptions which may be permitted to the single straight line requirements, under special circumstances involving
consideration of side conditions and model size, weight, speed, and power, must be jointly approved by the AMA President and
the Executive Director.
Under all circumstances, if my model weights over 20 pounds, I will fly it in accordance with paragraph 5 of this section of the
AMA Safety Code.
I will not fly my model unless it is identified with my name and address or AMA number, on or in the model.
Note: this does not apply to models flown indoors.
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.
I will not operate models with pyrotechnics (any device that explodes, burns, or propels a projectile of any kind) including, but not
limited to, rockets, explosive bombs dropped from models, smoke bombs, all explosive gases (such as hydrogen-filled balloons),
ground mounted devices launching a projectile. The only exceptions permitted are rockets flown in accordance with the National
Model Rocketry Safety Code or those permanently attached (as per JATO use); also those items authorized for Air Show Team use as
defined by AST Advisory committee (document available from AMA HQ). In any case, models using rocket motors as primary means of
propulsion are limited to a maximum weight of 3.3 pounds and a G-series motor. (A model aircraft is defined as an aircraft with or
without an engine not able to carry a human being.)
I will not operate any turbo jet engine (axial or centrifugal flow) unless I have obtained a special waiver for such specific operations
from the AMA President and Executive Director, and I will abide by any restriction(s) imposed for such operation by them. (This does
not apply to ducted fan models using piston engines or electric motors.)
I will not consume alcoholic beverages prior to, nor during participation in any model operations.
