1. The rules in the current AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code (AMA Safety Code) will apply at the field (detailed in the AMA Insurance Summary). It is every member’s and flying guest’s responsibility to either know the AMA Safety Code, or possess a copy of the AMA Safety Code.

2. The activities described in 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, and 2.4 are prohibited;

1. Flying over the pits, parking area, spectators, and the access road for the length of the runway.

2. High speed flying down the runway.

3. Flying over, or "buzzing" trespassers.

4. Wearing and/or using cellular telephones or personal two-way communication devices while flying.

3. Helicopters:

1. Only experienced helicopter pilots may fly from the runway as described in 3.3.

2. Beginning and intermediate helicopter pilots must take-off, land, and hover in the dirt area Southeast of the runway and pit area, or away from other members and guests.

3. Helicopter take-offs, landings, and hovers, must be performed North of the runway centerline.

4. Helicopter pilots must yield the runway for fixed-wing aircraft take-offs and landings.

4. When starting or running up engines in the pits, the aircraft must be pointed either away from or toward the runway. The aircraft shall not be pointed, or angled toward adjacent pit stalls.

5. Mufflers are mandatory on all engines.

6. To ensure the proficiency/safety of a new member or guest, a club instructor or a club officer shall closely observe the first flight of a new member, or guest. In the event a club officer or instructor are not present, a veteran club member must observe the new flyer.

7. East to West take-off runs with tricycle gear aircraft shall not begin prior to the solid white line (out from the center of the pits) across the runway. Tail dragger aircraft will start from the broken white line (line West of the pit area line) across the runway. When the winds reverse, take-off runs will be as required, and all pilots and spectators should exercise greater caution. Pilots flying aircraft that require more distance for take-off than the lines allow must obtain the permission of ALL flyers present.

8. No "breaking in" of engines in the pit areas during flying sessions.

13. All transmitters used at the Drones Field must display the corresponding channel identification plaque attached to the antennae as described in the AMA Membership Manual. And all transmitters used at the Drones flying field shall be "Narrow Banded" and shall conform to the "AMA Radio Control Utilization Plan".
