2005 Official AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code

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, utiliz-

ing 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 out-

side of the model aircraft. This does not apply to model aircraft

flown indoors.

with gaseous boosts (other than air), nor will I operate model air-

craft 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 produc-

ing 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

2. I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of spectators

until I become a proficient flier, unless I am assisted by an experi-

enced pilot.

3. At all flying sites a straight or curved flightline must be estab-

lished, in front of which all flying takes place. Only personnel

associated with flying the model aircraft are allowed at or in

front of the flightline. In the case of airshows, demonstrations, or

competitions, straight lines must be established. An area away

from the flightline must be maintained for spectators. Intentional

flying behind the flightline is prohibited.
