What rules apply to model rocketry in Australia?
The C.A.A. RULE (Paraphrased from regulation 295): No model may be flown over 300′ without a waiver from the CAA. Only matters relating to airsafety shall be considered in granting a waiver. Further, you may not launch at all within 5km of an aerodrome (airfield or airport). Also, some states have explicit age restrictions (ie Queensland – Minimum age 18yo), and fire restrictions (Qld again, must have local fire marshall approval). You should also respect fire bans as a matter of safety, courtesy and good public relations. Other than this, you should follow the standard _model_ rocketry rules of the NAR, and note that only engines up to “D” class are available.
