Aviators Bar Stunt Flying
While Carrying Passengers
LOS ANGELES, Feb. 5.—More than
thirty civilian aviators of Southern
California have organized and issued
a safety code governing flying while
carrying passengers.
Each aviator assenting to the code
pledged himself not to engage in any
stunt flying with passengers. He also
agreed to certain restrictions as to
ordinary flying and to the condition
of his plane.
The acceptance of the code does
not affect stunt flying by aviators
while in the air alone or in motion
picture or other commercial work
calling for it, but refers only to safe

tion of persons on the ground.
