City controlled airspace?

I stumbled upon the Aircraft and Airports section of the Dallas City Codes
and found a whole new layer of regulations I never knew about.

Here's a good one. As a student, I guess I need to call my instructor
every time I need to start the engine:

SEC. 5-24. ONLY PILOT OR COMPETENT MECHANIC TO RUN ENGINE.
No person shall start or run aircraft engine other than a licensed pilot
or
a competent mechanic in the cockpit attending the controls. (Ord. Nos.
8213; 14384)

You are a licensed student pilot. That is a pilot.

Same requirements for the drivers license, i.e. not blind, not
epileptic, etc...
Yes you have to have a certificate to exercise the privilege of
flying...
Yes you have to have a license to exercise the right to drive...
It isn't granting of either the license or the certificate that is the
difference, it is the level of rights once granted...


Flying is not a privilege, it is a right.

If that were true, you wouldn't need a license.

A license is just a good way to filter out idiots like you. Protects people
on the ground from the incompetent.

If that were true, there would be no aviation accidents due to pilot error.
In reality, pilot error is the leading cause of accidents.

No, because it's true we don't have considerably more accidents.

That is precisely why you do NOT need a license to
fly in USA. You do however need a certificate.

They are one and the same.

Outside the US the certificate is called and treated as a licence under
ICAO.
