2006 Official AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code

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.
