Sorry. This was undoubtedly written by lawyers - one of whom you must now pay to interpret. Rich S. Well, Richie-Pooh, is suffering from the dark negativism of hysterical melancholia today, so I'll tell you how to find them. You get the book of statutes and look at the whole chapter, which will be indexed. A statute will often refer to another statute and so on, so you read all of them until you get a general understanding of the legislative policy of that state on the specific topic you're interested in. Many non-lawyers read and understand statutes as well as or better than lawyers do. There will also be references to judicial opinions, attorney general opinions, and administrative rules on the pages following the statutes you are looking at. This is true with regard to the statutes in any state I'm familiar with. If you can't find those statutes on the net, go to a law library. At the University of Tennessee College of Law library in Knoxville the last I looked there were codes of laws of just about every state in the USA, in bound volumes. |

For the state you're interested in, start with a net search using Google. Plug in "north carolina statutes" for example, or "new jersey statutes." |

wrote: All I know is that I landed on runways that weren't public-use airfields. They weren't pastures, if that's what you mean. That's what I mean. One of them had a hangar and a windsock and a mowed strip; I believe that that was a public-use airfield in the process of going private. If it was near Andover it will stay public. Loong sorrowful story on that one, I worked there for about 10 years. Good news is the town bought it. Bad news is the town doesn't know what to do with it. Buildings need some repair, but a flight operation and maintenance shop (which used to thrive there) would be enough to get it going again. We're working on getting through. The others were more basic, but all were mowed and clearly visible as runways from the air, and were used regularly by their owners and their friends. Thanks. You've outlined Private/Public strips. I was wondering about the pasture aspect of it. z |

Yeah, they told me the same... but when I went down later in the evening to "check on the plane" there was nobody around, and I figured (correctly, but barely) that it would be easier to beg forgiveness than get permission... On a related note while we're discussing NJ statutes, does anybody know what the legality is of ultralight operations off other than approved airfields? -Dana -- -- If replying by email, please make the obvious changes. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------Come to think of it, there already are a million monkeys at a million typewriters, and the Internet is _NOTHING_ like Shakespeare! |
