Safety Tips

 

 

Accidents happen, but most can be prevented. These tips are all based on actual events - read the BMFA handbook thoroughly!

bulletNever fly over people or property. Don't fly near buildings, vehicles, boats or aircraft. A full size aircraft hit could endanger life and you will be personally liable for your actions.

bulletIf you cannot see what you are overflying, don't fly. Someone could be there and you can be certain that if you have a problem with your model then it will go in their direction.

bulletBe very careful with engines and fuel. Make sure that everyone nearby is fully aware of what you are doing. If there is any possibility of fire make sure that a suitable fire extinguisher is available and that someone knows how to use it.

bulletIf flying at a display or an event, particularly if flying a model which is rarely used, take extra care to check the model very carefully.

bulletKeep records of any incidents where persons or property were at risk to ensure that every effort is made to prevent repeats.
