National Model Aircraft Safety Code
Effective January 1, 2011
A. GENERAL
A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying aircraft
capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere. It may
not exceed limitations of this code and is intended
exclusively for sport, recreation and/or competition.
All model flights must be conducted in accordance with
this safety code and any additional rules specific to the
flying site.
1. Model aircraft will not be flown:
(a) In a careless or reckless manner.
(b) At a location where model aircraft activities are
prohibited.
2. Model aircraft pilots will:
(a) Yield the right of way to all man carrying aircraft.
b) See and avoid all aircraft and a spotter must be
used when appropriate. (AMA Document #540-D-See
and Avoid Guidance.)
(c) Not fly higher than approximately 400 feet above
ground level within three (3) miles of an airport,
without notifying the airport operator.
(d) Not interfere with operations and traffic patterns at
any airport, heliport or seaplane base except where
there is a mixed use agreement.
(e) Not exceed a takeoff weight, including fuel, of
55 pounds unless in compliance with the AMA Large
Model Aircraft program. (AMA Document 520-A)
(f) Ensure the aircraft is identified with the name and
address or AMA number of the owner on the inside or
affixed to the outside of the model aircraft. (This does
not apply to model aircraft flown indoors).
(g) Not operate aircraft with metal-blade propellers or
with gaseous boosts except for helicopters operated
under the provisions of AMA Document #555.
(h) Not operate model aircraft while under the
influence of alcohol or while using any drug which
could adversely affect the pilot’s ability to safely
control the model.
(i) Not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic
devices which explode or burn, or any device which
propels a projectile or drops any object that creates a
hazard to persons or property.
Exceptions:
• Free Flight fuses or devices that burn producing smoke
and are securely attached to the model aircraft during
flight.
• Rocket motors (using solid propellant) up to a G-series
size may be used provided they remain attached to
the model during flight. Model rockets may be flown in
accordance with the National Model Rocketry Safety
Code but 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 Team AMA Program Document (AMA
Document #718).
(j) Not operate a turbine-powered aircraft, unless in
compliance with the AMA turbine regulations. (AMA
Document #510-A).
3. Model aircraft will not be flown in AMA sanctioned

(a) The aircraft, control system and pilot skills have
successfully demonstrated all maneuvers intended or
anticipated prior to the specific event.
(b) An inexperienced pilot is assisted by an
experienced pilot.

in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations
will be completed before the first flight of a new or
repaired model aircraft.
