What must a person do before they can receive certification as a high power user?

To be certified as a high power user, an individual must demonstrate that they are adequately prepared for the responsibilities and technical aspects involved in high power rocketry. This includes understanding safety protocols, regulatory requirements, and the specific skills required to safely build and launch high power rockets.

The importance of this preparation lies in ensuring that the person has a comprehensive understanding not just of the equipment, but also of the launch environment, potential risks, and emergency procedures. By preparing thoroughly, the individual is better equipped to handle any challenges that may arise during the complex process of high power rocketry.

Although attending a launch event, completing a training course, and preparing a rocket for launch can all contribute to a person’s knowledge and readiness, the fundamental requirement for certification revolves around the overall preparation to engage in high power rocketry activities responsibly and safely.
