<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><strong>Special Launch Requirements:</strong></p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">I'll try to keep it brief... We have approval for a private (non-public), NRVR members + Students only, <em>TRA Reserch Launch</em>.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Just to be clear, due to COVID-19, this launch:</p>
<ul style="color: #222222; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: pre-wrap; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">is NOT an open to the public launch (no scouts troops, schools, outreach groups, etc)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">is intended for University Students and NRVR Club Members only</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12pt;">social distancing, masks & hand hygiene, will be enforced (PPE provided)</span> </li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><strong>Student Cert and HP Flights:</strong></p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Students, your rocket should be completely assembled (minus the HP motor) 24hrs before the launch (so that all epoxy is fully cured).</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">No rocket needing any on-field, major component construction or repairs will be approved to fly (no fin attachments/epoxing, shock cord mount repairs, motor retention, non-removable rail/lug mounts, load/stress bearing component work, etc). All such construction should be accomplished at least 24hrs before the launch.</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">The listed flyer should have been responsible for the rocket construction (no stand ins), especially for cert flights (certs are for individuals only).</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">Flyers attempting a certification flight are not to posses high power motors they are not already certified to handle. To be clear, an uncertified flyer may not bring, handle, load their own H or I motor without certified flier, mentor or RSO oversight.[1]</p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>

<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><strong>Complex, Research, or "Weird" Rockets Require Pre-Flight Review/Approval</strong></p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;">If you're flying</p>
<ul>
<li>over 5,000ft (hard ceiling is 8k), or</li>
<li>flying a complex/staged flight,</li>
<li>a research flight,</li>
<li>or flying a "weird" rocket (a non-traditional rocket, recovery, critical 3D printed parts, etc) </li>
</ul>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; display: inline !important;">if your rocket/flight match any of these, please file a <a href="http://server2.nrvr.org/files/NRVR_Pre-Flight_Data_Capture_Form_2020.pdf">Pre-Flight data Capture Form</a> and get them to the club officers BEFORE the day of the launch. Sim your flight and get the form to <a href="mailto:officers@nrvr.org">officers@nrvr.org</a> ASAP.</span></p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"> </p>
<p style="margin:0;padding:0;font-family: arial; font-size: 12pt; overflow-wrap: break-word;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; display: inline !important;">The RSO has final go/no go authority for all flights at TRA launches.</span></p>
