Radio controlled radio controlled model planes to 16 lidmodel is the unmanned aircraft (except unmanned balloons, kites and rockets), weighing not more than 20 kg (without fuel) together with the equipment. 17. the Republic of Latvia, the sky can make a radio controlled model planes of flights: 17.1. which is not equipped with metal or repaired the propeller or not secure engine;
17.2. the construction parts (wings, tail) is not a sharp front edges;
17.3. which radio is in vibration absorbing packaging (container);
17.4. designed and built so that the flight would not be possible during the accidental heavy parts or ballast separation from them;
17.5. the hull of the plaque with the owner's name (name), address (legal address) and phone number. 18. Running a radio controlled model planes for flights, you can only use the radio frequency that a specific law on radio spectrum band distribution model aircraft flight operations. 19. the flights are operated by radio controlled model aircraft operator has selected the airspace above the area of the zone that is at least 500 m long and 200 m wide. Radio controlled model aircraft operator shall ensure that, in this area, and 50 m safety zone around it not in people, animals, vehicles, as well as fire and explosion dangerous items. 20. Radio controlled model aircraft operator prior to taking a flight make sure: that the intended management 20.1. control transmitter radio frequency does not use another operator;
20.2. for correct operation the controller before and after starting the engine. 21. If less than 200 m from the radio controlled model planes start (start) on people, take-off time of the first operator manoeuvres the flight headed to the zone. 22. If you encounter radio interference or disturbance of management control, radio controlled model planes in flight and stopped immediately to put lidmodel. 23. If the radio controlled lidmodel flights not previously checked its flight shall be carried out not less than 200 m from people. 24. it is prohibited to drive radio-controlled lidmodel in that: it takes flight near 24.1. about 200 m from buildings, bridges, highways, railways, road transport, transport road junction, low voltage, high voltage electricity and communication lines, cemeteries, sanctuaries and infra structure of military objects that are used in the national armed forces;
