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) Flying sites separated by three miles or more are
considered safe from site-to-site interference, even when
both sites use the same frequencies. 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
determine 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 associated with AMA
Clubs, or (3) two or more individual AMA members.
6) For Combat, distance between combat engagement
line and spectator line will be 500 feet per cubic inch of
engine displacement. (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.
