Thank you Jack for clarifying. I think you have good judgement of the rules. I honestly don't think the rules are unreasonable. I just don't want to violate the rules as RSO or LCO.

Hmmm... I note that the section of the rules you quoted in your previous message includes the following: "2-18.1.1 Exception: Non-HPR Fliers are allowed in the High Power Launch Area if escorted by a HPR Flier." I wonder whether this might be applied to allow a "junior cert" flier to set up a rocket on the HPR pads under the supervision of a certified mentor, as a "Non-HPR Flier ... escorted by a HPR Flier." (Perhaps I'm missing something but this seems like it might be a reasonable interpretation of the rule as written...) -dave w
