Read sections 6.7 and 6.8...

6.7 Range Personnel may access any portion of the range as directed by the Launch Director or RSO.

6.8 A responsible adult may be designated as Range Personnel to help a flier upon approval of the RSO.

Our problem is going to be finding a responsible adult... <G>

Well, it no longer says an insured flyer can supervise non-members on the range.

6-6 also says uninsured children may fly under supervision. It say nothing about uninsured adults. So o ly adults who are members of NAR or Tripoli can fly model rockets?

Okay, bow I have to really go through this!

Maybe everyone should and bring up issues.

    I just started reading thru it.  Under access, I see that all high
    power flyers can access the high power pads.
    What about adult non flyers who are under the supervision of the
    flyer, like a helper or camera guy?

    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.
