§ 16.44.070. Flying rules.

The Airport is a controlled Airport by authority of the Federal Aviation Agency. All aircraft entering in or emanating from this controlled zone will be governed by regulations of the Federal Aviation Agency and the following rules. No person operating or in charge or any aircraft shall fail, neglect or refuse to comply with the following flying rules of the Airport:

A.

When the wind is from the east or south, no aircraft shall traverse any course other than a counterclockwise course.

When the wind is from the west or the north or the northwest, no aircraft shall traverse any course other than a clockwise course.

A flashing amber light located on the roof of the traffic-control tower shall mean that clock wise (to the right) flow of traffic around the Airport is required.

B.

All aircraft in approaching the Airport shall fall in the line of traffic until a point has been reached where a landing can be made directly into the wind, and, if practicable, with a straight glide beginning at a minimum of one thousand feet (1,000') from the outer boundary of the Airport.

C.

Aircraft approaching for a landing shall circle the airport at a minimum altitude of one thousand five hundred feet (1,500') to observe other traffic unless the pilot receives other instructions from the airport traffic-control operator.

D.

Landing aircraft shall have the right-of-way.

E.

Aircraft, when taking off from the Airport, shall not make any turn before reaching an altitude of five hundred feet (500').

F.

Aircraft shall not take off over hangars, buildings or other obstacles or over groups of spectators unless unavoidable.

G.

All aircraft operating on or from the Airport shall have the following minimum equipment: wheel brakes, tail or nose wheel and one-way radio receiver.

H.

Aircraft, when carrying United States mail or operating on regular scheduled stops, shall be given the right-of-way when landing and taking off. This rule shall not apply to aircraft in distress.

I.

Pilots or personnel in charge of aircraft, in taxiing to and from the runways, shall use the taxiways provided for this purpose.

J.

All traffic on the Airport shall be controlled by radio and in emergencies by visual light signals.

K.

Takeoffs and landings shall be made into the wind and in the direction indicated by the controlled tetrahedron located west of the administration building unless otherwise directed by the traffic-control operators.

L.

Pilots on the ground shall acknowledge light signals from the control tower by working the ailerons or by moving the rudder.

M.

Pilots in flight shall acknowledge receiving signals from the control tower by rocking the wings.

N.

All aircraft not equipped with radio shall, upon approaching the field, maintain a constant watch on the traffic-control tower located on the roof of the administrative building.

O.

No parking on any runway shall be permitted. Aircraft shall not be taxied on to runways without first having received clearance to take off either by radio or visual light signal from the traffic-control tower.

P.

The surfaced runways shall be used for all takeoffs and landings, except that they may be made from the turfed areas with permission from the Director or chief air traffic control operator.

Q.

During the hours of darkness, suspension of contact flight rules will be indicated by the flashing lights outlining the traffic direction indicator (tetrahedron).

R.

During the hours of daylight, suspension of contact flight rules will be indicated by the lighting and operation of the rotation beacon and the flashing lights outlining the traffic direction indicator (tetrahedron).
