[RocketsNW] FW: [AR] Amateur Rocket Final Rule

[Krausert, Robert]

Peter,
Class 2 requiring a waiver? What is the difference between table B-2 and B-3? B-2 covers local ATC, no waiver required and 24-96 hours notice. B-3 is filing of a waiver, asking for more info, and 45 days prior. What I cannot find in the document is "when" class 2 requires a waiver.

Cheers,
Robert

FYI, it was printed in the federal register on Thurs. Dec. 4 and will go
into effect Feb 2, 2009.

To sum up:

Class 1--Model Rockets: are now defined as anything using no more than
125 g propellant and weighing no more than 1500 grams.  They require no
notification or waivering.

Class 2--High-Power Rockets: are now defined as any rocket other than a
class 1 rocket propelled by a motor or motors having a combined total
impulse of 40,960 N-sec or less (O impulse class).  These require notice
and waivers.

Class 3--Advanced High-Power Rockets: are now defined as any amateur
rocket other than a class 1 or 2.  These also require notice and
waivers.

Other:  are now defined as any unmanned rocket that is not an amateur
rocket.

4, 2008.]

There's a link on the NAR Electronic Rocketeer #6 that Trip Barber sent
out last night.

Cheers, all!

I just saw an article on an entirely unrelated subject that says a
revision of the guns in national parks law will be published in the
Federal Register NEXT WEEK.

Hopefully we'll see this FAA rule published next week as well, then in
early February we will be able to enjoy the more relaxed rules.
