After a quick review, I don't see anything that will change the way we launch.
This is just a consolidation of the high power and research codes, with model
rockets and rocket boosted aircraft added.

Important Safety Code Announcement from TRA President Bob Brown
One of the questions both members new to Tripoli Rocketry Association as well
as long-time members ask is “Where do I go to find out what is and isn’t
allowed at a Tripoli launch?” For a Commercial Motor launch, the answer was
three documents, the High Power Safety Code and the Safe Launch Practices
document, which are available on the Tripoli website, as well as NFPA 1127,
which was only available on the NFPA’s website (we were not allowed to publish
NFPA 1127 as the NFPA copyrights it, and they would prefer to sell you a copy
to fund their operations even though it was rocketry folks that helped them
write it!). If you were attending a Research Motor launch, in addition to the
three documents above, you had to include the Research Safety Code from
Tripoli’s website. It always frustrated me that there was one single document
that a flyer could reference to understand our safety code. To this end, the
Tripoli Board of Directors is pleased to announce the publication and adoption
of our new Tripoli Rocketry Association Safety Code which is available on the
Tripoli website. This safety code will become effective on May 1, 2022.
Under this safety code, there are no longer Commercial launches or Research
launches, just Tripoli launches. There are some changes to the current safety
code, such as a common safe distance table, a safety code for both model
rockets as well as radio-controlled boosted gliders as well as other changes.
Please take the time to read this document in its entirety. While your first
reaction will probably be there seem to be a lot more rules under this new
document, in fact, almost nothing more restrictive has been adopted it’s just
compiled into one document now.
Finally, as an organization, we owe a huge thank you to Steve Shannon, who
undertook the daunting task of compiling the information from the original four
documents and writing (in plain English, not legalese) a document we can all
understand and follow.
