It would then be left up to a court to decide what the intention or spirit of the law was when it was written. Well, I don't think there is much question about the intent, since the regulation in question is under the "CHAPTER 5 AIRCRAFT AND AIRPORTS" section. It's obvious that they weren't referring to the boat type of hydroplane.

It strikes me as odd that someone would go out of their way to use the ambiguous word "hydroplane" while passing over simple, precise and unambiguous terms like float plane and seaplane. Maybe he was from Canada? :-) -- Dallas |

Think again: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofoil A hydrofoil is a boat with wing-like foils mounted on struts below the hull. As the craft increases its speed the hydrofoils develop enough lift for the boat to become foilborne - i.e. to raise the hull up and out of the water. This results in a great reduction in drag and a corresponding increase in speed. A hydrofoil works much like an aircraft wing, but it works in a fluid medium with a substantially different viscosity. The viscosity is different, but an airplane wing also works in a fluid. Maybe you meant liquid? |

I chose the word 'fluid' specifically because it is the correct term for both media. |
