CWB1... USA Aviation regulations are considerably different from state/local land/waterway governance, simply because the airspace overhead is regulated by FEDERAL authorities... otherwise chaos would engulf all forms of aviation... especially across state lines. Aviation/airmanship, in all forms, is a governed/earned NATIONAL privilege.
The US Constitution never made mention of aviation/space/etc... but the very nature of the document allow for creation of governance and order for 'the unforeseeable' in the future of the country... so progress could occur.
"A mile of highway will take you a mile: a mile of runway will take you anywhere." ~Steve, Blogger from Ohio
"Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect.” ~Captain A. G. Lamplugh, 1930s
