Hmmmm. I only know one 'licensed pilot'. Everyone else I know is
certificated.

You could be a real pain and call the police every time a certificated
pilot operates an aircraft engine.

Only the FAA would come up with a term like "certificated"... and no
offense intended, but I don't see why people get so bent out of shape
about "certificated" vs. "certified" vs. "licencsed." Doesn't seem to
make much of a difference to me.

It doesn't make any difference to me, under most circumstances. But when a
municipality oversteps it's bounds, as I feel they have done in this case, I
start looking at other ways they may abuse their power. All it would take is
one cop with an attitude to shut down the airport, because no 'licensed
pilots' were available to operate the engines. What happens when Skylune and
his Stop-The-Noise buddys decide to file a suit to prevent 'illegal'
operations at the airport?
