No. 81 - 2
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA, SUPPORTING A
REQUIREMENT FOR LARGER IDENTIFICATION
DESIGNATORS FOR GENERAL AVIATION AIRCRAFT.
WHEREAS, the City of Clearwater feels it is necessary to request
r the Federal Aviation Administration to create a regulation imposing a
requirement that general aviation aircraft be identified with twelve-inch
a:
designators placed under the wing; and
WHEREAS, residents of many Cities, including Clearwater, Florida,
have expressed concern about low-flying aircraft over their homes causing
hazardous conditions and considerable noise; and
WHEREAS, complaining parties are unable to properly identify the
offending aircraft due to the present small identification designators on the
sides of the fuselage and no identification on the underside of the wing; and
WHEREAS, many aircraft are identified according to the 1977 Federal
Aviation Administration ruling which allowed three-inch designators in place
of twelve-inch ones; and
WHEREAS, no local airport authority or operator can take appropriate
action against violators without accurate aircraft identification;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF CLEARWATER, FLORIDA,
IN SESSION DULY AND REGULARLY ASSEMBLED, AS
FOLLOWS:
1. That the City Commission of the City of Clearwater, Florida,
urgently requests that the Federal Avaiation Administration require
identification designators of not less than twelve-inches on the underside
of the wing and on both sides of the fuselage of general aviation aircraft so
that persons on the ground can readily identify violators of general aviation
and airport safety and noise abatement regulations.
