Children under the age of 18 who are only flying Model Rockets from the low power pads do not need to register, but they must be supervised by a registered flier and must be accompanied by a registered flier at all times. If the child’s accompanying adult is not a registered flier, the adult may coordinate with a registered flier or an Indiana Rocketry staff member to fly Model Rockets with the child.
Note: Model Rockets are rockets that are less that 3.3 pounds in weight and are being flown on motors with less than 80 Newtons average thrust, less than 160 Newton-seconds of impulse (G motor or smaller), and less than 125 grams of propellant.
