Regulations for the Operation of Aircraft (1920)
« on: March 31, 2006, 09:04:32 PM »
1. Don't take the machine into the air unless you are satisfied it will fly;
2. Never leave the ground with the motor leaking;
3. Don't turn sharply when taxiing. Instead of turning sharp, have someone lift the tail off the ground;
4. In taking off, look at the ground and the air;
5. Never get out of a machine with the motor running until the pilot relieving you can reach the engine controls;
6. Pilots should carry hankies in a handy position to wipe off goggles;
7. Riding on the steps, wings, or tail of a machine is prohibited;
8. In case the engine fails on takeoff, land straight ahead regardless of obstacles;
9. No machine must taxi faster than a man can walk;
10. Never run motor so that blast will blow on other machines;
11. Learn to gauge altitude, especially on landing;
12. If you see another machine near you, get out of the way;
13. No two cadets should ever ride together in the same machine;
14. Do not trust altitude instruments;
15. Before you begin a landing glide, see that no machines are under you;
16. Hedge-hopping will not be tolerated;
17. No spins on back or tail slides will be indulged in as they unnecessarily strain the machines;
18. If flying against the wind and you wish to fly with the wind, don't make a sharp turn near the ground. You may crash;
19. Motors have been known to stop during a long glide. If pilot wishes to use motor for landing, he should open throttle;
20. Don't attempt to force machine onto ground with more than flying speed. The result is bouncing and ricocheting;
21. Pilots will not wear spurs while flying;
22. Do not use aeronautical gasoline in cars or motorcycles;
23. You must not take off or land closer than 50 feet to the hangar;
24. Never take a machine into the air until you are familiar with its controls and instruments;
25. If an emergency occurs while flying, land as soon as possible.
