2008 Official Academy of Model
Aeronautics Safety Code
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 does not apply to model aircraft flown
indoors.
7. I will not operate model aircraft with metal-blade
propellers or with gaseous boosts (other than
air), nor will I operate model aircraft with fuels
containing tetranitromethane or hydrazine.
8. I will not operate model aircraft carrying
pyrotechnic 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 Safety Code; however,
they may not be launched from model aircraft.
Officially designated AMAAir Show Teams (AST)
are authorized to use devices and practices as
defined within the Air Show Advisory Committee
Document.
9. I will not operate my model aircraft while under
the influence of alcohol or within eight (8) hours of
having consumed alcohol.
10. I will not operate my model aircraft while using
any drug which could adversely affect my ability to
safely control my model aircraft.
11. Children under six (6) years old are only allowed
on a flightline or in a flight area as a pilot or while
under flight instruction.
12. When and where required by rule, helmets must
be properly worn and fastened. They must be
OSHA, DOT, ANSI, SNELL or NOCSAE approved
or comply with comparable standards.
RADIO CONTROL
1. All model flying shall be conducted in a manner to
avoid over flight of unprotected people.
2. I will have completed a successful radio equipment
ground-range check before the first flight of a new
or repaired model aircraft.
3. I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of
spectators until I become a proficient flier, unless I
am assisted by an experienced pilot.
4. At all flying sites a line must be established,
in front of which all flying takes place. Only
personnel associated with flying the model aircraft
are allowed at or in front of the line. In the case
of airshows demonstrations straight line must be
established. An area away from the line must be
maintained for spectators. Intentional flying behind
the line is prohibited.
