MAIN constraint
- If the aircraft is equipped with a wheeled landing gear, it must include a ground steering mechanism for positive directional control during takeoff and landing.
- Relying solely on aerodynamic control surfaces for steering is not permitted
Other Constrait
- Aircraft must remain on the runway during the takeoff roll.
- The aircraft must be airborne within 100 ft (takeoff distance limit).
- Must not initiate a turn until passing 400 ft from the initial start position.
- Two team members are allowed to hold the aircraft before takeoff but may not push it.
- Aircraft must land in the same direction as takeoff.
- The aircraft must land and stop within 400 ft (landing distance limit).
- A landing is considered successful only if it is controlled and entirely within the designated landing zone.
- If any part of the aircraft used for support (e.g., landing gear, wheels) touches outside the landing zone, the flight is disqualified.
- Touch-and-go landings are not allowed.
