They were promulgated today by the commerce department, after Secretary Hoover's assistants in the task of drafting them called into conference representatives of all groups interested in the field of air navigation. After New Year's Day, every craft that files the air must bear its license number, and if it is used for public conveyance of people or goods, fts ¢irworthiness and safety must be certified to by the commerce depart- | 1aent on the application of detailed tests that touch its power plant, uselage and wings. Pilots and mechanics alike, a (ording to the grade of their service, inust be picked men of proven ompetence, who have survived the crdeal of both physical and mental «xaminations. Once aflight, the ships must con- «“uct themselves by set rules for 11eetings and passing in the air, by I'ghting at night, and by carrying sstruments which will demonstrate the functioning of all portions of their contrivances. Five Types of Planes As to alrplanes, the new regula- tions recognize five classes of ma- hines, ranging from the 2,500 pound plane to the big machine that | ifts 13,000 pounds and more. Tests were laid out which each machine aust meet before its airworthiness | an be certified, with the exception | that when a manufacturer turns out | an approved type of vehicle, the fol- | owing identical machines may be ziven a certificate based on the dem- | onstrated safety of the model. In- pectors of the commerce depart- 1ent will see to it that machines in srviee are kept up to standard, and ot put in shape for use after acci- nts without renewed testing. Oper- of commercial vehicles, like- . must make regular daily and | led inspections, and keep a log their findings, from which they make regular reports to the rnment. chines in the air must refrain m approaching within 300 feet of her craft. They must pass to the ight when meeting, and airplanes iaust give way to balloons and air- | ships. By night, a plane must carry a red light on its right and a green light on its left, each visible for two miles, and must show a white light to the rear visible for three miles. P’assing over landing flelds, pilots must take notice if a red burning, for that will signal the | sonably sate which in no case shall be less than | 11,000 feet;" and elsewhere at height man’s license is that which makes it less tho pilot has kept In practice at his difficult art. It takes at least months, with at least five hours solo flying per month, before the pas- senger carrying airman, or “trans- port pilot,” can qualify for his license. All of the licenses granted under the new regulations run for limited periods, a year being the longest as to both craft and pilots. Violations of regulations can bring about suspensions or revocations of licenses | for both craft and ~aen. Among the safety regulations fs !one forbldding any objects or ma- erials to be dropped from craft in | flight, except as a safeguard in times of stress. Another requires all planes for passenger carriage to be so con- | structed that there are at least two its from the passenger compart- | ment. With certain exceptions, flving in airplanes is prohibited over the con- gested parts of cities “except at a height sufficient to permit of a rea- emergency landing, less than 500 feet. No flight under 1,000 feet In height can be made over an open air assembly except with the consent of the secretary of commerce, and acrobatic flying is prohibited over cities. Where serious injury results from an accident the owner of the air- | craft must immediately report, by telegraph or telephone to the secre- |tary of comimerce. The owner or operator of every licensed aircraft | must keep a navigation and engin log book, and quarterly transmit to | the commerce department a naviga- tlon summary report, showing the number of hours and the approxi- mate number of miles the aircraft has been flying during the quarter. “Until otherwise provided,” say the regulations, “the laws of the United States and regulations made thereunder with respect to the en- try and clearance of vessels engaged in foreign commerce, are hereby made applicable to aircraft engaged in foreign air commaerce.
