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:

Unless you are like me.
I'm a "competent mechanic" - I've been fixing cars since I was 15...


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)

When I first started all of this I was completely amazed at the
similarities between a C150 engine and my VW Bug's engine.

Outside of a funnily-placed carb and another couple cylindars, you
could probably bold a C150 engine into a bug and run it just fine.

You will probably find the greatest difference between the two engines
lies in their prices.

The technology of propulsion for small aircraft lags greatly behind the times.
I suppose there is little incentive to develop new powerplants and there are
high costs associated with getting them certified. Fuel issues in the future
and/or pollution or noise issues may force the hand of manufacturers
eventually.
