Just as a matter of curiosity. Can someone point me to what information is required to be on a flight card? Looking to rebuild our flight cards and want to start with what's required and go from there...

I concur with Steve but I'm curious why you asked in the first place. Where did the idea of required info come from ? I can only guess that some minimal data might be needed in the event of an insurance claim, IDK.
I've been under that impression as well, but the NAR safety code doesn't seem to mention it. TRA has it in their range safety guidelines, saying "Verify that an applicable flight card exists, is filled out in a legible manner, and indicates all of the pertinent flight data including but not limited to flyer name andI ask because its my understanding (and I could be wrong) that we're required to collect flight information in the form of flight cards. If that's truly the case, then logic dictates there is a minimum of data that needs to be collected per flight. That is what I would like to know so we can cater our cards with the required information along with any additional we desire.
We have stopped using them. We now use a spreadsheet. It prevents physical contact.
Sheet has name, rocket names, pad#, motor, and mode of recovery.

I have a stack of address labels with my name, NAR, city, level in my flight binder!! Peel it off, stick it on, done!!
@Stewman That should be a standard check the RSO does when signing off on the card.. Divide the impulse by 25 to see if it's above or below the rocket weight, or consult the handy graph RSO's are supposed have at their table. And it should be up to the Rocketeer to prove it's viable..
@GregC I earned the nickname 'sticker man' at one event because of this! (and my last name has 10 letters, and my home town is two words of 12 letters + a space, and my NAR number is...) not to mention my handwriting is pretty poor!

I should have clarified my post - yes, the RSO does that and we do have charts we use, however, I meant to say the modeler now has to put the ratio on his flight card, showing he/she has done the calculation.
