3) At all flying sites a straight or curved line(s) must

be established in front of which all flying takes place

with the other side for spectators. Only personnel

involved with flying the aircraft are allowed at or in

front of the flight line. Intentional flying behind the

flight line is prohibited.
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.
