-
A free balloon shall display a white light placed not less than 15 ft. or
more than 30 ft. below the basket and visible, so far as practicable, in all directions
at a distance of at least two miles. -
(1) In the case of a captive balloon or kite, lights shall be displayed in
accordance with the following provisions of this subparagraph:—
(a) The balloon or kite shall display two white lights placed 12 ft. apart,
one vertically below the other and both being visible so far as
practicable in all directions at a distance of at least two miles, the
upper light being placed not less than 15 ft. or more than 30 ft.
below the basket, or, if there is no basket, below the lowest part of
the balloon or kite ;
(b) In addition, from the mooring cable of the balloon or kite there shall
be displayed at intervals of 1,000 ft. measured from the said group
of two white lights, similar groups of two white lights, and if the
lowest group of lights is obscured by clouds, an additional group
shall be displayed below the cloud base ;
(c) In addition, the position of the object to which the balloon or kite is
moored on the ground shall be marked by a similar group of two
white lights.
(2) By day, the mooring cable of a captive balloon shall have attached to it
at intervals of not more than 300 ft. measured from the basket (or, if there is no
basket, from the lowest part of the balloon) tubular streamers, not less than
8 in. in diameter and 6 ft. in length, and marked with alternate bands of white
and red 18 in. in width.
(3) By day, the mooring cable of a kite shall be marked, either:—
(a) In the manner required by the last preceding subparagraph in the case
of a captive balloon; or
(b) By streamers of stout paper attached to the cable at intervals of 150 ft.
measured from the lowest part of the kite, being streamers not less
than 30 in. in length or 1 ft. in width in their widest part, and
marked with alternate bands of white and red 4 in. wide.
Airships.
-
(1) Except as provided in the next following paragraph, an airship when
under way shall display the following lights:—
(a) Forward, a white light fixed so as to show forward an unbroken light
visible at a distance of at least five miles in a dihedral angle of 220°
formed by two vertical planes and bisected by the plane of symmetry ;
(b) On the right side, a green light fixed so as to show an unbroken light
visible at a distance of at least five miles in a dihedral angle of 110°
formed by two vertical planes, of which one is parallel to the plane
of symmetry and directed dead ahead, and the other is directed to the
right ;
(c) On the left side, a red light fixed so as to show an unbroken light visible
at a distance of at least five miles in a dihedral angle of 110° formed
by two vertical planes, of which one is parallel to the plane of
symmetry and directed dead ahead, and the other is directed to the
left ;
(d) At the rear, a white light fixed so as to show astern an unbroken light
visible at a distance of at least three miles in a dihedral angle of
140° formed by two vertical planes and bisected by the plane of
symmetry.
(2) In a case where, in order to comply with the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph, a single light has to be replaced by several lights, the field of visibility
of each of those lights shall be so limited that only one can be seen at a time. -
(1) An airship which is under way and which is not under control, or
which has voluntarily stopped its engines, or which is being towed, shall display
the following lights:—
(a) The forward and rear lights required by subparagraphs (1) (a) and (1) (d)
of the last foregoing paragraph ;
(b) In addition, below the airship, two red lights, one placed vertically below
the other 12 ft. apart, the upper light being 25 ft. below the control
car, and both being visible so far as practicable in all directions at a
distance of not less than two miles ;
(c) In addition, if making way but not otherwise, the side lights required
by subparagraphs (1) (b) and (1) (c) of the last foregoing paragraph.
(2) By day, an airship in the circumstances mentioned in subparagraph (1)
of this paragraph shall display two black balls or shapes, each at least 2 ft. in
diameter, one placed vertically below the other 12 ft. apart, and both being
visible so far as practicable in all directions.
Where necessary in order to comply with the foregoing provisions of this
subparagraph, the said group of two black balls or shapes may be duplicated. -
(1) An airship when moored to a mooring-mast shall display at or near
the rear a white light visible, so far as practicable, in all directions at a distance
of at least three miles.
(2) An airship, when moored to the ground or the surface of the water by a
cable, shall display, forward, the white light required by subparagraph (1) (a) of
paragraph 11 of this Schedule, and, at the rear, the white light required by sub-
paragraph (1) (d) of that paragraph, and, in addition, the airship and its mooring
cable shall be lighted or marked in accordance with such of the provisions of
paragraph 10 of this Schedule as are applicable in the case of a captive balloon.
(3) An airship while picking up its moorings shall be considered as being
under way and not being under control until it is finally made fast.
SECTION II.—RULES AS TO SIGNALS.
Landing at Aerodromes at Night.
- (a) An aircraft wishing to land at night, without being compelled to do
so, on an aerodrome having a ground control, shall before landing make inter-
