different from such parts on all
other airplaneS, as he had studied
them in aviation magazines.
He developed a cyclonic propeller,
now patented, with a swirl on the
end of the blade; four purpose

place of the conventional landing
gear: different wing shape, differ

ferent allerons. In its every line the

BY CAPT. MALCOLM BUCHANAN
The Government has placed avia-
ton control in the hands of the De-
partment of Commerce. Congress,
upon recommendation of the de-
partment, has made rapid strides
in passing laws to control flying.
Three to five years ago it was no
uncommon sight to see planes, flying
commercially, that were not only
unsafe for their pilots, but for
everyone around them.
Laws Needed
Would-be pilots all over the coun-
try, who could raise enough money
to do so, bought old WORKOUT
planes. took flying lessons and
started carrying passengers. I have
seen pilots, who could hardly keep
a ship in the air hang out their
sign and begin commercial flying.
In many cases this was suicidal.
At that time there was no way to
stop this unsafe practice. Laws were
needed to curb the unframed and
reckless aviator, who endangered his
own life as we'll as the lives and
property of others.
The laws now are good as far as
they go. but there is room for much
improvement and coverage. 1t is up
to the States to come in and do
their part, both as to lawmaking
and enforcement. For today, as
long as a pilot does not cross a
State line he cannot be touched by
national law, regardless Of his
incompetence.
The unlicensed pilot with the I'M
licensed ship is still free lance and
allowed to do as he sees fit. In most
States there are no laws to prevent
him from hauling passengers.
Public Realizes Peril
But today the public is beginning
to wake up to the fact that the I'M
licensed ship and pilot are unsafe,
and as this becomes more generally
49,
known the unsafe operator will be
forced from the field and flying then
will be on a better basis.
The commerce department now
requires pilots to obtain a certain
rating for one Of the three classes
of flying that he intends to engage
in: transport, license and limited.
Certificates for each are issued for
six-month periods, at the end OF
which time they must be renewed
by examination.
Airplanes must be approved by a
department of commerce inspector,
and when passed, a certificate,
which must be displayed in prom
inent place on the ship, is issued.
The machine is given number and
an initial. These usually are painted
on the upper and lower wing and
on the tail. Planes with numbers
only are merely identified to show
that the pilot has applied for in
spection. The initial will be added
when the inspection is complete.
Licenses RevOcable
Under existing regulations the un-
licensed pilot is not allowed to ny
a licensed ship. Neither is the IL
censed pilot allowed to fly the unli-
censed plane. Infraction OF these
rules may mean loss of license.
