§ 52.01  AIR TRAFFIC AND GROUND TAXI PATTERN FOR AIRCRAFT.
   (A)   Entrance to the field shall be made at an altitude of 800 feet above the field elevation.
   (B)   Entrance shall be made at a 45-degree angle to the downwind leg.
   (C)   Landing shall be made into the wind as shown by the wind direction indicator, except at such times during the course of student pilot training when cross-wind landings are made pursuant to flight training under the supervision of a licensed instructor.
   (D)   In the event the cross-wind landings are made, pursuant to flight training under a licensed flight instructor, planes making landings into the wind shall have the right-of-way.
   (E)   A 180-degree change in direction must be made after entrance into the downwind leg before a landing shall be made.
   (F)   After landing is made, all planes shall taxi on the righthand side of the runway to the hangar, flight line or tiedown.
   (G)   In tailing plane from point of tiedown, or hangar, to approach the point of take-off, the planes shall be kept to the righthand side of the runway.
   (H)   Incoming planes shall have the right-of-way at all times.
   (I)   Planes taxing upon the runways, upon the approach of incoming planes, shall, if there is sufficient time to permit the same, be taxied to the righthand corner of the runway as viewed by incoming pilot of final approach, and from that point, aircraft shall be faced toward incoming aircraft at a 45-degree angle for run-up and pre-flight.
   (J)   No aircraft shall attempt to take off while an incoming aircraft is attempting to land.
   (K)   All take-offs shall be made into the wind as shown by the airport wind direction indicator, except cross-wind take-offs may be made in the course of student flight instructor or in the case where heavily loaded crop-spraying planes would create a danger to the residents of the city by being forced to take off on the northwest runway and causing it to reach an unsafe and low altitude as it came directly over the city; but such aircraft making a cross-wind take-off shall give the right-of-way to planes taking off into the wind.
   (L)   After take-off, aircraft shall climb to an altitude of 400 feet and make a 90-degree turn to the left, and after making the 90-degree turn to the left, aircraft intending to leave the field shall then turn to the right at a 45-degree angle, and those aircraft intending to return to the field for a landing shall turn to the left at a 90-degree angle and climb to an altitude of 800 feet, and from such point shall land as prescribed by the regular landing regulations set out in this chapter.
   (M)   Heavily loaded crop-sprayer airplanes shall not be bound by division (L) of this section if the requirements would possibly force the heavily loaded plane to make the dangerous 90-degree turn to the left while directly over the city.
   (N)   Aircraft in the traffic pattern have the right-of-way over aircraft wishing to enter such pattern.
   (O)   Aircraft flying over the airport without intending to land shall maintain an altitude of at least 1,500 feet.
   (P)   Aircraft when on the airport, shall taxi at a speed, and in such a manner, which will not endanger the occupants of said aircraft or other persons or property on or about such airport.
