AMA SAFETY CODE (excerpts)
Read and abide by the following excerpts from the Academy
of Model Aeronautics Safety Code. For the complete Safety
Code refer to Model Aviation magazine, the AMA web site, or
the Code that came with your AMA license.
General
1) I will not fl y my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air
shows, or model fl ying demonstrations until it has been proven
to be airworthy by having been successfully fl ight tested.
2) I will not fl y my model aircraft higher than approximately
400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the
airport operator. I will give right-of-way and avoid fl ying in
close proximity of full-scale aircraft. Where necessary, an
observer shall be utilized to supervise fl ying to avoid having
models fl y in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.
3) Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the
fl ying site I use, and I will not willfully and deliberately fl y my
models in a careless, reckless, and/or dangerous manner.
5) I will not fl y my model unless it is identifi ed with my name
and address or AMA number, on or in the model. Note: This
does not apply to models while being fl own indoors.
7) I will not operate models with pyrotechnics (any device that
explodes, burns, or propels a projectile of any kind).
Radio Control
1) I will have completed a successful radio equipment ground
check before the fi rst fl ight of a new or repaired model.
2) I will not fl y my model aircraft in the presence of spectators
until I become a qualifi ed fl yer, unless assisted by an
experienced helper.
3) I will perform my initial turn after takeoff away from the
pit or spectator areas and I will not thereafter fl y over pit or
spectator areas, unless beyond my control.
4) I will operate my model using only radio frequencies currently
allowed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
5) I will not knowingly operate my model within three miles
of any pre-existing fl ying site except in accordance with the
frequency sharing agreement listed (in the complete AMA
Safety Code).
PRE-FLIGHT CHECK LIST
During the last few moments of preparation your mind may
be elsewhere anticipating the excitement of the fi rst fl ight.
Because of this, you may be more likely to overlook certain
checks and procedures that should be performed before the
model is fl own. Look over the following check list and complete
all items before attempting to fl y.
❏
Check the C.G. according to the measurements provided
in the manual.
❏
Be certain that the motor batteries, ESC, and receiver
are securely mounted in the fuselage.
❏
Balance
your
the instructions.
❏
Make sure all hinges are damage-free and securely
glued in place.
❏
Confi rm that all controls operate in the correct direction
and the throws are set up according to the manual.
❏
Make sure that all servo arms are secured to the servos.
❏
Make sure that any servo extension wires that you
have do not interfere with other systems (servo arms,
pushrods, etc.)
❏
Balance your propeller (and spare propellers).
❏
Make sure that the hex head cap screw that holds the
propeller on is tight.
❏
Place your name, address, AMA number, and telephone
number on or inside your model.
❏
If you wish to photograph your model, do so before your
fi rst fl ight.
❏
Range check your radio when you get to the fl ying fi eld.
Good luck and remember to have fun!
