Model Rocket Operations; Final Rule DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

This action amends the operational guidelines of the Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) Part 101 for model rockets that: use not more than 125 grams (4.4 ounces) of propellant; are made of paper, wood, or breakable plastic; contain no substantial metal parts; and weigh not more than 1,500 grams (53 ounces). This amendment is necessary to provide for the operation of the technologically advanced, larger category, model rockets and to ensure that their operation is in concert with the maximum level of safety protection for aircraft, flight crews, and the flying public. The FAA believes that this amendment will foster important aeronautical education and research activities, while retaining appropriate operational safety precautions.
