Effective January 1, 2010
GENERAL
A model aircraft shall be defined as a non-human-carrying aircraft capable of sustained 
flight in the atmosphere. It may not exceed limitations established in this code and is 
intended to be used exclusively for sport, recreation, and/or competition.

1. I will not willfully fly my model aircraft in a careless or reckless manner, and will abide 

by this Safety Code and any additional rules specific to flying sites.

2. I will yield the right-of-way to man-carrying aircraft and will see and avoid all aircraft, 

utilizing a spotter when appropriate. (See AMA Document #540-D on See and Avoid
Guidance.)

3. 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.

4. The maximum takeoff weight of a model aircraft, including fuel, is 55 pounds, except 

for those flown under the AMA Experimental Aircraft Rules.

5. I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air shows, or model demonstra-

tions unless I have previously proven that my aircraft, control system, and piloting 
skills are adequate by successfully executing all maneuvers intended or anticipated 
in the specific event. If I am not a proficient pilot, I will not fly in these events unless 
assisted by an experienced pilot.

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.
8. I will not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnic devices which explode or burn, 

or any device, which propels 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 AMA Air Show Teams
(AST) are authorized to use devices and practices as defined within the Team AMA
Program Document.

9. I will not operate my model aircraft while under the influence of alcohol or while using

any drug which could adversely affect my ability to safely control the model.

10. 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.
