The following main conditions govern the issue of certificates of airworthiness: 1. The design of the aircraft in regard to safety shall conform to certain standard minimum requirements. 2. A satisfactory demonstration must be made in flying trials of the actual flying qualities of the type of aircraft examined, provided that machines subsequently manufactured which conform to the approved type need not be subject to such trials. The trials shall conform to certain standard minimum requirements. 3. The construction of every aircraft with regard to workmanship and materials must be approved. The control of the construction and of the tests shall be in accordance with certain standard minimum requirements. 4. The aircraft must be equipped with suitable instruments for safe navigation. 5.

The word "aircraft" comprises all balloons, whether fixed or free, kites, airships and flying machines. The word "balloon," either fixed or free, shall mean an aircraft. using gas lighter than air as a means of support, and having no means of propulsion. The word "airship" shall mean an aircraft using gas lighter than air as a means of support, and having means of propulsion. The words "flying machine" shall mean all aeroplanes, seaplanes, flying boats, or other aircraft heavier than air, and having means of propulsion. An airship is deemed to be "under way" within the meaning of these rules when it is not made fast to the ground or any object on land or water. SECTION I-Rules as to Lights. The word "visible" in these rules when applied to lights shall mean visible on a dark night with a clear atmosphere. The angular limits laid down in these rules as shown in the sketch (attached) shall be determined when the aircraft is in its normal attitude for flying on a rectilinear horizontal course. 1. The rules concerning lights shall be complied with in all weathers from sunset to sunrise, and during such time no other lights which may be mistaken for the prescribed lights shall be exhibited. The prescribed navigation lights must not be dazzling. 2. A flying machine, when in the air or maneuvering on land or water under its own power, shall carry the following lights: (a.) Forward, a white light visible in a dihedral angle of 220 degrees bisected by a vertical plane through the line of flight, and of such a character as to be visible at a distance of at least 8 kilometres; (6.) On the right side, a green light so constructed and fixed as to show an unbroken light between two vertical planes whose dihedral angle is 110 degrees when measured to the right from dead ahead, and of such character as to be visible at a distance of at least 5 kilometres; (c.) On, the left side, a red light so constructed and fixed as to show an unbroken light between two vertical planes whose dihedral angle is 110 degrees when measured to the left from dead ahead, and of such a character as to be visible at a distance of at least 5 kilometres; (d.) The said green and red side lights shall be fitted so that the green light shall not be seen from the left side, nor the red light from the right side; (e.) At the rear, and as far aft as possible, a white light shining rearwards and visible in a dihedral of 140 degrees bisected by a vertical plane through the line of flight and of such a character as to be visible at a distance of at least 5 kilometres; (f.) In the case where, in order to fulfil the above conditions, the single light has to be replaced by several lights, the field of visibility of each of these lights should be so limited that only one can be seen at a time. 3. The rules determined for the lighting of flying machines shall apply to airships subject to the following modifications: (a.) All lights shall be doubled; the forward and aft lights vertically, and the side lights horizontally in a fore and aft direction; (b.) Both lights of each pair forward and aft shall be visible at the same time. The distance between the lights comprising a pair shall not be less than 2 metres. 4. An airship, when being towed, shall carry the lights specified in paragraph 3, and, in addition, those specified in paragraph 6 for airships not under control. 5.-(a.) A flying machine, or airship, when on the surface of the water, and when not under control, that is to say, not able to manœuvre as required by the Regulations for the Prevention of Collisions at Sea, shall carry two red lights not less than 2 metres apart one over the other, and of such a character as to be visible all around the horizon at a distance of at least 3 kilometres. (b.) The aircraft referred to in this paragraph, when not making way through the water, shall not carry the side lights, but when making way shall carry them. 6. An airship which from any cause is not under control, or which has voluntarily stopped her engines shall, in addition to the other specified lights, display conspicuously two red lights, one over the other, not less than 2 metres apart, and constructed to show a light in all directions, and of such a character as to be visible at a distance of at least 3 kilometres. By day an airship, when being towed, which from any cause is not under control, shall display conspicuously two black balls or shapes, each 60 cms. in diameter placed one over the other not less than 2 metres apart. An airship moored, or under way but having voluntarily stopped its engines, shall display conspicuously by day a black ball or shape, 60 cms. in diameter, and shall be treated by other aircraft as being not under control. 7. A free balloon shall carry one bright white light below the car at a distance of not less than 5 metres, and so constructed as to show an unbroken light in all directions, and of such a character as to be visible at a distance of at least 3 kilometres. 8. A fixed balloon shall carry in the same position as the white light mentioned in paragraph 7, and in lieu of that light, three lights in a vertical line one over the other, not less than 2 metres apart. The highest and lowest of these lights shall be red, and the middle light shall be white, and they shall be of such a character as to be visible in all directions at a distance of at least 3 kilometres. In addition, the mooring cable shall have attached to it at intervals of 300 metres, measured from the basket, groups of three lights similar to those mentioned in the preceding paragraph. In addition, the object to which the balloon is moored on the ground shall have a similar group of lights to mark its position. By day the mooring cable shall carry in the same position as the groups of lights mentioned in the preceding paragraph, and in lieu thereof, tubular streamers not less than 20 cms. in diameter and 2 metres long, and marked with alternate bands of white and red, 50 cms. in width. 9. An airship when moored near the ground shall carry the lights specified in paragraphs 2 (a) and (e) and 3. In addition, if moored but not near the ground, the airship, the mooring cable, and the object to which moored, shall be marked in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 8, whether by day or by night. Sea anchors or drogues used by airships for mooring purposes at sea are exempt from this regulation. 10. A flying machine stationary upon the land or water but not anchored or moored shall carry the lights specified in paragraph 2. 11. In order to prevent collisions with surface craft: (a.) A flying machine when at anchor or moored on the water shall carry forward, where it can best be seen, a white light, so constructed as to show an unbroken light visible all round the horizon at a distance of at least 2 kilometres; |
