   (d)   A competent person shall be at the controls of each aircraft at all times when the engine is started or running. Aircraft shall not be “run up,” excluding takeoff run-ups, within or in the vicinity of airport buildings, or whenever the run-up would be dangerous to property or person. For extended run-ups the pilot should request clearance from the Airport Control Tower to use an appropriate area.

      (1)   Parking on the east T-hangar taxiways shall be prohibited.
      (2)   Parking on or near night flight operations areas shall be prohibited unless the aircraft is clearly illuminated, has lighted positions lights or is located in an area marked off by obstruction lights as provided by The Federal Aviation Regulations.
      (3)   Parking at any gas service area shall provide adequate clearance for four engine aircraft using any aircraft movement area.
      (4)   Jet aircraft shall be parked on ramp areas so as to permit the starting of engines without hazard to other aircraft or persons. Terminal gate positions may be used only where the engine blast will be directed toward the open apron and clear all parked aircraft.
