RULES FOR AIR TRAFFIC     51

point of such area shall, unless it is flying at a greater height than 2,000 feet, keep the landing area on its left.

38. Aerodynes are prohibited from engaging in aerial acrobatics in the vicinity of aerodromes, at a distance of less than five miles from the nearest point of the perimeter of the aerodrome, unless they are flying at a greater height than 6,000 feet.

39. When an aerodyne is about to land by means of a radioelectric guide, other aerodynes, in order to avoid collision, must conform to any local rules in force which may be applicable or, in default of such rules, fly as low as possible below the clouds.

40. No fixed balloon or kite shall be elevated in the vicinity of an aerodrome without a special authorization.

C.--Rules to be Observed for Departures and Landings
41. If an aerodyne starting from or about to land on an aerodrome makes a circuit or partial circuit, the turning must be made clear of the landing area and must be left-handed (anti-clockwise), so that during such circuit the landing area shall always be on its left.

As an exception, the turning must be right-handed when the signal indicated in paragraph 13 (c) (2) or in paragraph 13 (c) (3) of this Part is displayed.

42. (a) Every aerodyne taking off from or landing at an aerodrome shall do so upwind, except when the natural conditions of the aerodrome do not permit. If, however, there is a landing T as provided for in paragraph 13(a) (2) of this Part, or a line of lights as provided for in paragraph 14 II (d) (2) of the said Part, the aerodyne shall take off or land in the direction indicated by this T (i.e. by following the direction of the long arm of the T towards the cross arm of that T) or by the line of lights;

(b) Landings shall be preceded by a descent in a straight line, commencing at least 3,000 feet outside the perimeter of the landing area;

(c) Every aerodyne landing at an aerodrome shall leave clear on its left any aerodyne which has already landed or is already landing, or which is taking off or about to take off;

(d) Every aerodyne taking off from an aerodrome shall leave clear on its left any aerodyne which is already taking off;
