City controlled airspace?
"ZikZak" wrote in message oups.com... You have a student pilot certificate, don't you? There's no such thing as a "licensed pilot," but a solo student pilot is properly certificated to fly an airplane. Is an airman certificate not formal permission from a governmental authority to do something? |

City controlled airspace?

I stumbled upon the Aircraft and Airports section of the Dallas City Codes and found a whole new layer of regulations I never knew about. Not unusual. Some cities have even tried to enforce their own aviation related ordinances. Several years ago, the city of Mesa, AZ enacted an ordinace prohibiting flight over the city below 1,000 ft. (except for takeoff and landing). They went so far as to have their police helicopters chase down suspects and issue tickets on the ramp. Many complained, but the FAA didn't show any interest in getting involved. Eventually, local pressure ended the enforcement (i.e. don't airborne cops have anything better to do than waste fuel chasing errant Cessnas?), but the ordinance is still on the books. Also, several years ago, the city of Las Cruces, NM enacted an ordinance that required pilots to make radio calls in the pattern at the (untowered) municipal airport. Again, the FAA showed no interest in getting involved. The ordinance was the brainchild of the local (former pilot) airport manager who thought the local pilots needed some incentive to do things "the right way" (i.e. his way). This one was eventually repealed when a high profile local citizen and pilot appeared before the city council and convinced them that the ordinance made them look like idiots to the aviation community.

Somehow it's not ok to run your engine up, but acceptable to taxi forward another 50 feet onto the runway and firewall it? :-) Few people will notice a quick run-up on a piston single. The jets and turboprops don't do a run-up for every flight anyway. If you think you need to do it then, consider the airport closed during those hours. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |

There's no such thing as a "licensed pilot," but a solo student pilot is properly certificated to fly an airplane. I know it's cool and all to say we have a certificate and not a license but even the FAA says "license" may places on their website. Here's an example. Replace an Airman Certificate (License) The people who insist on "certificate" are harking back to the days before the FAA issued them. Originally, airman certificates were issued by flying clubs. There was no FAA in those days. Now that the government issues the certificate and reserves the right to take it away, it represents a license. It is the same thing, no matter how much the pack howls. Most of these guys could stand to look in a dictionary and see what the difference between a license and a certicate is. If you want to get picky about it, a certificate represents a license to fly. That license can be revoked, whether you retain physical possession of the certificate or not. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |

They are wrong, the certificate represents a license to fly, and all the howling in the world will not change the fact. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |

Extended full-power turbojet runups at 2am make the neighbors much, much sadder than anything a piston engine is going to produce. (Barring, maybe, a C185 with a long two-bladed prop on a full-power takeoff. Yeeeeouch!) |

When I first started all of this I was completely amazed at the similarities between a C150 engine and my VW Bug's engine. Outside of a funnily-placed carb and another couple cylindars, you could probably bold a C150 engine into a bug and run it just fine. |

I call it a certificate because that's what it's called on the ticket and in the regs. Are the regs wrong then? |
