IStrict Examinations
For Aviator Pilots

NEW YORK, Feb. THE rules for
the granting of aviator pilot licenses
have been made much more stringent
as a result of the annual meeting Of
the Federation Aeronautique Interna =
tionale. The Aero Club of America
has just promulgated in this coun-
try the new rules for the air tests,
and the last aviator has received his
license under the old conditions.
One of the new requirements makes
1t necessary for an applicant to attain
an altitude of at least 100 meters
1928 feet) in one of the test flights
instead of so meters, as heretofore.
In addition to that he will in future
be required to Volplane to earth from
that minimum altitude in making his
final landing. Under the old rules, the
applicant did not l ave to shut off his
motor power until just before reach
ing the ground, If he chose.
The candidate no longer will have
the privilege of combining an att
tude and distance test in one flight.
He will have to make three distinct
flights, one OF which will be confined
to the altitude test and the other two
to ross-country flying.
