Latest version.
  • It is unlawful for any person to operate an aircraft in and over the city at any height or speed in any manner which is unreasonable or improper under the circumstances of the operation; or so as to endanger the property, life or limb of any person. Operation of an aircraft in violation of Federal Aviation Regulations shall be presumptive evidence of unreasonable and improper operation. In no event shall an aircraft be operated over the city at an altitude of less than 1,000 feet above any obstruction and at a horizontal distance of less than 2,000 feet, in any direction, from an obstruction; provided however, that aircraft maneuvering for landing or take off are subject only to such rules and regulations as may apply thereto.
