===== Additional information =====
Registration:
Before you bring a rocket up to the Safety Check-in Table, be sure that you have:
- Filled out and signed the registration form * Paid your daily range fee * Received a badge/card that indicates your name and high power certification level (if applicable) * Have filled out a flight card. Extra flight cards are available at the Registration Table.
Check in:
Any flyer wishing to exceed the established soft limits must obtain approval from the Check-in Officer PRIOR to preparing the rocket for flight. When permission to exceed the soft limits is obtained, the flyer should prepare the rocket for flight and present it to the Check-in Officer in the normal manner.
Complex rockets, (multi-motor, staged, etc) will be handled in the same manner as rockets that exceed the soft limits.
Certified Motors:
Only motors certified by NAR or TRA will be allowed to fly. To find out if your motor is certified, a list will be posted at the Registration Table and the Safety Check-in Table.
Volunteers:
A high power launch requires a large amount of teamwork. Please consider volunteering for a range duty shift to help make this launch a success. We will temporarily suspend launch operations anytime there are not enough volunteers to fill all range duty positions.
High Power Certification:
NAR Level 1 and 2 certification flights may be attempted each day. If you do not already have a Certification Team, talk with the RSO and one will be provided for you. Be sure your team is with you prior to prepping your rocket.
Spectators:
Please stay clear of the official range head area (where the launch control personnel work) unless you have business there. No alcoholic beverages may be consumed on site.
No smoking allowed in prep, check-in, vendor, or flying areas. Please keep children and pets under your close supervision. If your rocket lands in one of the launch pad areas, wait until that area is disarmed before recovering your rocket.
Trash:
Every participant and spectator is responsible for his or her own trash. Small trash bags will be available at the registration tent. Please check your prep area carefully at the end of each day and remove all trash.
Right to Fly:
The range crew have no obligation to allow models to fly. If, in their best judgment, a model is unsafe then it shall not pass through check-in. If technical doubts are present then they will consult with the Range Safety Officer. The Range Safety Officer also has no obligation to allow models to fly. The Range Safety Officer?s decisions may not be appealed. The Launch Director may shut down the range whenever the conditions warrant it. The Launch Directors decision to close the range cannot be appealed.
