SAFETY PROTOCOL Due to the relatively lush grasslands (for NM) and the proximity to nearby gas wells and tanks, we have some more rigid safety rules. These rules may be adjusted if necessary but Prefect/RSO has final say at any launch.

4CRA will follow the Tripoli Safety Code

The following are in addition to the Tripoli code

Due to the "grasslands", sparky motors are NOT allowed (unless LCO/Prefect make explicit excptions based on current conditions).

Due to the neaby gas wells and tank, every high power rocket MUST have redundant apogee deployment. Either motor ejection plus electronics or dual redundant electronics is required.

If a L1 Cert is of construction of a plastic nose cone and non-fiber-reinforced cardboard body, then it may be allowed - Prefect/RSO has final say.

Anything L2 or higher (regardless of construction) should plan for dual redundant apogee deployments.

Any "home made" or "user assembled" electronics MUST have Commercial Off The Shelf (COTS) redundancy.

Low/Mid Power Restrictions

Anything with a fiberglass airframe or weighted / metal tipped nose cone must meet the "redundant dual apogee" requirements above.

If rocket is not high power (< H motor) and entirely cardboard / plastic construction then simple 'motor eject' is acceptable.
