GENERAL 

 

1.  A model aircraft shall be defined as a non-human-carrying device capable of sustained flight in 

the atmosphere. It shall not exceed limitations established in this code and is intended to be used 
exclusively for recreational or competition activity. 

2.  The maximum takeoff weight of a model aircraft, including fuel, is 55 pounds, except for those 

flown under the AMA Experimental Aircraft Rules. 

3.  I will abide by this Safety Code and all rules established for the flying site I use. I will not willfully 

fly my model aircraft in a reckless and/or dangerous manner. 

4.  I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air shows, or model demonstrations until it 

has been proven airworthy. 

5.  I will not fly my model aircraft higher than approximately 400 feet above ground level, when within 

three (3) miles of an airport without notifying the airport operator. I will yield the right-of-way and 
avoid flying in the proximity of full-scale aircraft, utilizing a spotter when appropriate. 

6.  I will not fly my model aircraft unless it is identified with my name and address, or AMA number, 

inside or affixed to the outside of the model aircraft. This does not apply to model aircraft flown 
indoors. 

7.  I will not operate model aircraft with metal-blade propellers or with gaseous boosts (other than 

air), nor will I operate model aircraft with fuels containing tetranitromethane or hydrazine. 

8.  I will not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic devices, which explode, burn, or propel a 

projectile of any kind. Exceptions include Free Flight fuses or devices that burn producing smoke 
and are securely attached to the model aircraft during flight. Rocket motors up to a G-series size 
may be used, provided they remain firmly attached to the model aircraft during flight. Model 
rockets may be flown in accordance with the National Model Rocketry Safety Code; however, 
they 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 Air Show Advisory Committee 
Document. 

9.  I will not operate my model aircraft while under the influence of alcohol or within eight (8) hours of 

having consumed alcohol. 

10.  I will not operate my model aircraft while using any drug which could adversely affect my ability to 

safely control my model aircraft. 

11.  Children under six (6) years old are only allowed on a flightline or in a flight area as a pilot or 

while under flight instruction. 

12.  When and where required by rule, helmets must be properly worn and fastened. They must be 

OSHA, DOT, ANSI, SNELL or NOCSAE approved or comply with comparable standards. 

 

RADIO CONTROL 

 

1.  All model flying shall be conducted in a manner to avoid over flight of unprotected people. 
2.  I will have completed a successful radio equipment ground-range check before the first flight of a 

new or repaired model aircraft. 

3.  I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of spectators until I become a proficient flier, unless 

I am assisted by an experienced pilot. 

4.  At all flying sites a line must be established, in front of which all flying takes place. Only personnel 

associated with flying the model aircraft are allowed at or in front of the line. In the case of 
airshows demonstrations straight line must be established. An area away from the line must be 
maintained for spectators. Intentional flying behind the line is prohibited. 

5.  I will operate my model aircraft using only radio-control frequencies currently allowed by the 

Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Only individuals properly licensed by the FCC are 
authorized to operate equipment on Amateur Band frequencies. 

6.  I will not knowingly operate my model aircraft within three (3) miles of any preexisting flying site 

without a frequency-management agreement. A frequency management agreement may be an  
allocation of frequencies for each site, a day-use agreement between sites, or testing which 
determines that no interference exists. A frequency-management agreement may exist between 
two or more AMA chartered clubs, AMA clubs and individual AMA members, or individual AMA 
members. Frequency-management agreements, including an interference test report if the 
agreement indicates no interference exists, will be signed by all parties and copies provided to 
AMA Headquarters. 

7.  With the exception of events flown under official AMA rules, no powered model may be flown 

outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual, except for the pilot and located at the flightline.
