GENERAL
1. A model aircraft shall be defined as a non-human-
carrying device capable of sustained flight in
the atmosphere. It shall not exceed limitations
established in this code and is intended to be used
exclusively for recreational or competition activity.
2. The maximum takeoff weight of a model aircraft,
including fuel, is 55 pounds, except for those flown
under the AMA Experimental Aircraft Rules.
3. I will abide by this Safety Code and all rules
established for the flying site I use. I will not willfully
fly my model aircraft in a reckless and/or dangerous
manner.
4. I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events,
air shows, or model demonstrations until it has
been proven airworthy.
5. I will not fly my model aircraft higher than
approximately 400 feet above ground level, when
within three (3) miles of an airport without notifying
the airport operator. I will yield the right-of-way and
avoid flying in the proximity of full-scale aircraft,
utilizing a spotter when appropriate.
6. I will not fly my model aircraft unless it is identified
with my name and address, or AMA number, inside
or affixed to the outside of the model aircraft. This

devices which explode burn, or propel a projectile
of any kind. Exceptions include Free Flight fuses
or devices that burn producing smoke and are
securely attached to the model aircraft during flight.
Rocket motors up to a G-series size may be used,
provided they remain firmly attached to the model
aircraft during flight. Model rockets may be flown
in accordance with the National Model Rocketry

and practices as defined within the Air Show
Advisory Committee Document.
