City controlled airspace?

Sure Larry, but you're absolutely the first person to ask or even bring it
up. Does it mess up your newsreader somehow? How did you notice the format
when no one else has complained? I'd seriously like to know - I'm not being
a smartass here.... otherplaces, probably.

HTML wastes bandwidth (often multplying the size of a post by ten),
contributes nothing, and can be dangerous (depending on the reader and
the HTML codes involved). USENET is a text medium. If it can't be said
in plain text, this isn't the place for it.

It is a long standing principle of Usenet, like the preference for
bottom-posting, that all messages are plane ASCII text. Coding your
articles in HTML serves no useful purpose, and only serves to increase
the size of articles needlessly. There's more information about this
specific topic he http://members.fortunecity.com/nnqweb/ncaps.html

And general Usenet information is available he

The newsgroup news.newusers.questions is specifically for newcomers to
newsgroups and the Internet in general. It is a forum in which they
can ask questions about newsgroups and the Internet and hopefully get
useful answers from other more experienced users.

that all messages are plane ASCII text.

Is this an attempt to stay on topic?

(Sorry, I couldn't resist - I'll go back into my corner now.)

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)

Sidestepping the "license" vs. "certificate" issue, even a student
pilot has a "student pilot certificate". Though it does make one
wonder about the pilot of an ultralight, which requires no
certificate.

The middle rings of the DFW class B airspace begin at 2500 and 3000 feet.
This one makes it pretty tough to squeeze in the

SEC. 5-36. FLYING AT LOW ALTITUDE; PERMITS FOR LANDING PLACES.
No person shall fly any aircraft over the city at a lower altitude than
2500 feet from the surface of the earth

Definitely not valid... the FAA has actually defended pilots who get
busted on local regulations like this.

Not at all. The rule concerning ultralights state very plainly, that
ultralights are not aircraft.

I didn't have a medical for several months, so apparently I was in
violation when I attended the controls and started the engine.

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.

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