E-flite Advance 25e ARF Assembly Manual
3. I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of
spectators until I become a proficient flier, unless I
am assisted by an experienced pilot.
4. At all flying sites a line must be established, in front
of which all flying takes place. Only personnel
associated with flying the model aircraft are allowed
at or in front of the line. In the case of airshows
demonstrations straight line must be established.
An area away from the line must be maintained
for spectators. Intentional flying behind the line is
prohibited.
5. I will operate my model aircraft using only
radio-control frequencies currently allowed by
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).
Only individuals properly licensed by the FCC
are authorized to operate equipment on Amateur
Band frequencies.
6. I will not knowingly operate my model aircraft
within three (3) miles of any preexisting flying
site without a frequency-management agreement.
A frequency management agreement may be
an allocation of frequencies for each site, a
day-use agreement between sites, or testing
which determines that no interference exists. A
frequency-management agreement may exist
between two or more AMA chartered clubs, AMA
clubs and individual AMA members, or individual
AMA members. Frequency-management
agreements, including an interference test report if
the agreement indicates no interference exists, will
be signed by all parties and copies provided to
AMA Headquarters.
7. With the exception of events flown under official
AMA rules, no powered model may be flown
outdoors closer than 25 feet to any individual,
except for the pilot and located at the flightline.
8. Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person
touch a model aircraft in flight while it is still under
power, except to divert it from striking an individual.
9. Radio-controlled night flying is limited to low-
performance model aircraft (less than 100 mph).
The model aircraft must be equipped with a lighting
system which clearly defines the aircraft’s attitude
and direction at all times.
10. The operator of a radio-controlled model aircraft
shall control it during the entire flight, maintaining
visual contact without enhancement other than by
corrective lenses that are prescribed for the pilot.
No model aircraft shall be equipped with devices
which allow it to be flown to a selected location
which is beyond the visual range of the pilot.
