Part 61--- SCHEDULED AIR CARRIER RULES
BANKING AFTER TAKE-OFF

Adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board at its office in Washington, D.C., on the 27th day of August 1948. 

Section 61.7209 of the Civil Air Regulations, in effect, forbids the banking of air carrier aircraft immediately after take-off until a minimum altitude of 500 feet has been attained. This regulation prohibits the changing of the aircraft's course until this altitude has been reached which in some instances results in flight at a low altitude directly over highly congested areas. It is desirable to avoid such flights wherever possible and the recission of this regulation will permit the establishment of better traffic patterns which will accomplish this purpose. Since other provisions of the Civil Air Regulations establish adequate safeguards against unnecessary and unsafe maneuvering of aircraft at low altitudes and Par. 60.108(c) requires aircraft to conform to traffic patterns prescribed for individual airports, this regulation may be rescinded without an adverse effect on safety. 

Special Civil Air Regulations Serial Numbers 188 and 398 provide exceptions to Par. 61.7209 and, therefore, may be terminated upon recission of this rule.

Interested persons have been afforded an opportunity to participate in the making of this regulation, and due consideration has been given to all relevant matter presented.

In consideration of the foregoing the Civil Aeronautics Board herebyamends the Civil Air Regulations (14 CFR, Part 61, as amended) effective August 27, 1948:
      1. By rescinding Par. 61. 7209.
      2. By rescinding Special Civil Air Regulations Serial Numbers 188 and 398.

(Secs. 205(a), 601-610, 52 Stat. 984, 1007-1012; 49 U.S.C. 425(a), 551-560)

By the Civil Aeronautics Board.
