Default City controlled airspace?

No person shall fly any aircraft over the city at a lower altitude than
2500 feet from the surface of the earth



Questionable whether a city can do that, to say the least. But a lot of
them try.


They absolutely can not.






Here's a useless one:

SEC. 5-18. TAKE-OFF AND LANDING DIRECTION.
All aircraft take-offs and landings by pilots shall be in the direction
indicated by the airport wind direction indicator unless otherwise
authorized by the airport control tower. (Ord. Nos. 8213; 14384)



Same here. Arguably federal laws take precedence over city ordinances.


Federal law prevails here.
