25 E-flite Apprentice PNP Assembly Manual
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.
8. Under no circumstances may a pilot or other
person touch a model aircraft in flight while
it is still under power, except to divert it from
striking an individual.
9. Radio-controlled night flying is limited to low-
performance model aircraft (less than 100
mph). The model aircraft must be equipped
with a lighting system which clearly defines
the aircraft’s attitude and direction at all
times.
10. The operator of a radio-controlled model
aircraft shall control it during the entire
flight, maintaining visual contact without
enhancement other than by corrective lenses
that are prescribed for the pilot. No model
aircraft shall be equipped with devices which
allow it to be flown to a selected location
which is beyond the visual range of the pilot.
