Proper safety code launch sequence:
- Load and secure all chutes and harnesses.
- Wire up altimeter with no powder and check continuity.
- Turn off altimeter.
- Add charges and assemble AV bay/rocket.
- Add shear pins, if using.
- Install motor in rocket and retain, but do not insert igniter.
- Fill out flight card
- Take rocket to RSO for check and weight.
- Wait for "Range is clear" signal.
- Take rocket to pad and install on pad.
- Raise pad to vertical so that rocket is pointing up, and lock pad.
- Turn on altimeter and listen for continuity.
- Insert and secure igniter.
- Attach launcher clips to igniter and walk away.
