Que tipo de aros eu tenho que pular para lançar foguetes de alta potência?

10

Se eu quiser lançar foguetes de alta potência NÃO em um lançamento sancionado pela NAR ou pela TRA, supondo que eu esteja devidamente certificado, o que preciso fazer? Eu olhei no FAR | AIM, mas não consegui encontrar nada em rockets, mas acho que a seção de rocketry foi omitida do PPT FAR | AIM.
