HB.Pyro3

If you are going to Purchase, transport, store or launch high power rockets in California, state law requires you to have a Pyrotechnic Operator-Rocketry Class III license, affectionately known as a Pyro license. For purposes of this license, high power rockets includes any motor larger than G. Whether you are a NAR member, TRA member, transporting motors to an out of state launch or just a visiting flier at a sanctioned HP launch in the state, you are required to follow all state and local regulations. You cannot meet this requirement in California without obtaining this license. Flying without this license places you, the local club and even the launch-site owner at jeopardy by violating the law and the terms of the umbrella insurance policies provided by our national organizations.

LUNAR is committed to helping its members comply with the law and obtain their Pyro license. A Pyro Coordinator position (contact: calpyro@lunar.org) has been created to provide live advice and assistance to you throughout the license process.
