ALTITUDE OF AIRCRAFT
RESIDENTS APPREHENSIVE DUNEDIN HILL SUBURBS [nv telegraph OWN correspondent] DUNEDIN, Wednesday A number of residents in Dunedin hill suburbs are apprehensive of the allegedly low flying of air liners on their way to and from the aerodrome. It is claimed by some residents that the altitude at which the aeroplanes fly is dangerously low. The regulations state that aeroplanes flying over cities must keep at such a height that if their means of propulsion fail they can land outside the town area. "The pilots know the regulations and they also know that they will get into trouble from the company as well as from the Director of Civil Aviation if thcv are disobeyed," said the manager of the Dunedin branch of the Union Company, Mr. Cunningham. "They also have their jobs to think of, as well as their reputations and their wives and families, so that thev fire not likely to take unnecessary risks."
