Summary of AMA Safety Code
As an AMA member I agree:

• I will not fly 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 influence of alcohol or any drug that could
  adversely affect my ability to safely control the model.
• I will avoid flying directly over unprotected people, moving vehicles, and occupied structures.
• I will fly 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 flight system, such as an autopilot, or flying First-Person
  View (FPV), I will comply with AMA’s Advanced Flight System programming.
• I will only fly models weighing more than 55 pounds, including fuel, if certified through AMA’s Large
  Model Airplane Program.

  helper(s) located at the flightline, 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.
