ORGANIZED RC RACING EVENT
7. An RC racing event, whether or not an AMA Rule Book
event, is one in which model aircraft compete in flight over a
prescribed course with the objective of finishing the course faster
to determine the winner.
A. In every organized racing event in which contestants, callers
and officials are on the course:
1. All officials, callers and contestants must properly wear
helmets, which are OSHA, DOT, ANSI, SNELL, or NOCSAE
approved or comparable standard while on the racecourse.
2. All officials will be off the course except for the starter and
his/her assistant.
3. "On the course" is defined to mean any area beyond the
pilot/staging area where actual flying takes place.
B. I will not fly my model aircraft in any organized racing event,
which does not comply with paragraph A above or which allows
models over 20 pounds unless that competition event is AMA
sanctioned.
Refer to AMA Membership Manual 2001 for safety codes for
