A permittee must conduct any key flight-safety event so that the reusable suborbital rocket's instantaneous impact point, including its expected dispersion, is over an unpopulated or sparsely populated area. At a minimum, a key flight-safety event includes:

Ignition of any primary rocket engine,

Any staging event, or

Any envelope expansion.

A permittee must conduct each reusable suborbital rocket flight so that the reentry impact point does not loiter over a populated area.
