ACADEMY OF MODEL AERONAUTICS NATIONAL MODEL AIRCRAFT SAFETY CODE

Effective January 1, 2018
A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying device capable of sustained fl ight within visual line of sight of the
pilot or spotter(s). It may not exceed limitations of this code and is intended exclusively for sport, recreation,
education and/or competition. All model fl ights must be conducted in accordance with this safety code and
related AMA guidelines, any additional rules specifi c to the fl ying site, as well as all applicable laws and
regulations.
As an AMA member I agree:
• I will not fl y a model aircraft in a careless or reckless manner.
• I will not interfere with and will yield the right of way to all human-carrying aircraft using AMA's See and Avoid
Guidance and a spotter when appropriate.
• I will not operate any model aircraft while I am under the infl uence of alcohol or any drug that could adversely affect
my ability to safely control the model.
• I will avoid fl ying directly over unprotected people, moving vehicles, and occupied structures.
• I will fl y Free Flight (FF) and Control Line (CL) models in compliance with AMA's safety programming.
• I will maintain visual contact of an RC model aircraft without enhancement other than corrective lenses prescribed to
me. When using an advanced fl ight system, such as an autopilot, or fl ying First-Person View (FPV), I will comply with
AMA's Advanced Flight System programming.
• I will only fl y models weighing more than 55 pounds, including fuel, if certifi ed through AMA's Large Model Airplane
Program.
• I will only fl y a turbine-powered model aircraft in compliance with AMA's Gas Turbine Program.
• I will not fl y a powered model outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual, except for myself or my helper(s)
located at the fl ightline, unless I am taking off and landing, or as otherwise provided in AMA's Competition
Regulation.
• I will use an established safety line to separate all model aircraft operations from spectators and bystanders.
