City controlled airspace?

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.
