What agreement?

This one:

We have a sign at the fuel pump as a reminder.


I'm not a lawyer, but I think you have no basis unless you can prove that
the "buzzer" bought fuel at that pump...

The airport is KSWI. The ordinance is very specific in what determines
"buzzing". It is basically unenforceable, except for those that
continually do it and the tail number is recorded. Not sure what the
fine it. What started this was that during a Young Eagle Rally there was
a bi-plane showing off that darn near hit a hangar. There was a local
tenant that decided to do a low (25') pass down the runway the same day.
This with all the YE events going on. Not a good day. Then I told you of
the guy that did low high speed passes in his areobatic plane
interfering with other traffic. Well, he got killed doing low aerobatics
over a marina. The city enacted the ordinance. Like I said before, the
city attorney is a pilot. Missed approaches and balked landings would
not exceed the limits of the definition.

Like someone here already said, such violations are the jurisdiction
of the FAA. The locals could post most anything on the gas pumps, but
it'll never fly (pardon the pun) in court.


If you sign an agreement, you are bound by the terms. You may legally
agree not to fly fast and low, and although you may not be subject to
local criminal sanctions, you would be subject to whatever penalties you
agreed to abide by, same as any other contract.

No, because it is unenforceable.

Interesting. I wonder if it would stand up in court. I doubt it, but
who knows?
