Membership in the NAR empowers you to apply for this certification. NAR high power certification is free to all adult NAR members, and is offered in three distinct steps. In order to qualify to purchase and use engines of power classes from H to I, you must obtain a Level 1 certification, for which you are required to: - make a safe and successful flight of a rocket using an engine in that power class, which is witnessed by two other adult NAR members (at least one of whom is certified to the desired level); - have your witnesses sign a standard certification affidavit, available from NAR Headquarters - return the signed form to NAR HQ Your name will be added to our list of qualified high power consumers for that engine class.
