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 frequencymanagement 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.

enough to safely accommodate your flying activity.
- Make certain this area is clear of friends and
spectators prior to launching your aircraft.

flight path that could cause potential conflict.
- Carefully plan your flight path prior to launch.
- Abide by any and all established AMA National
