I do hereby give permission to be interviewed, photographed, and/or recorded by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and/or the National Institute of Aerospace (NIA) or its representatives before, during, and after my participation in the FAA Challenge. I understand and agree that the text, photographs, and/or recordings containing my likeness, name and/or voice may be used in the production of instructional and/or promotional materials associated with the FAA Challenge and that such materials may be distributed to the public and displayed publicly one or more times and in different formats, including but not limited to websites, social media, cablecasting, broadcasting, and other forms of transmission to the public.

I also understand that my permission authorizing the FAA/NIA to use the photographs and recordings in such material is for the life of the specific activity for which the materials are intended, is not limited in time, and that I will not receive compensation for granting this permission. I understand that neither the FAA nor the NIA has any obligation to use my name, likeness, or voice in the materials it produces in connection with any FAA Challenge, but if the FAA or the NIA so decides to use them, I acknowledge that they may edit such materials. I hereby waive the right to inspect or approve any such use, either in advance or following distribution or display. I hereby unconditionally release the FAA and the NIA, and its representatives, from any and all claims and demands arising out of the activities, authorized under the terms of the agreement.

I understand that the NIAA, its directors, officers, and employees are not responsible for any injuries to persons or damage to property or broken equipment sustained during these events. Participants will be held personally liable for any damages incurred by them.

I, hereby release, and forever discharge, waive, and covenant not to sue the NIAA, its directors, officers, or employees, from any and all liability for any harm, injury, damage, claims, demands, actions, causes of action, costs, and expenses of any nature whatsoever which I may have or which may hereafter accrue arising out of or related to any loss, damage, or injury, including but not limited to suffering and death, that I may sustain or to my property, whether caused by the negligence or carelessness of the NIAA, its directors, officers, or employees, or otherwise, while in transit to or from locations for which transportation is being provided.
