HADave, Those are excellent suggestion. The issue that always comes up is how does the FAA establish such rules within the legal context of their authority? Right now they can’t. In Hawaii, they can enact (just like anywhere in the US) temporary flight restrictions and rules, but they can and must be temporary. Otherwise they must set one standard for all air operations within the US.
The suggestion of the "N" number is good but has to apply to all aircraft registered in the US since they are not like car license plates, individually issued by the states, they are a national license plate.
The issue of the lights is good, but there already are required markings for lights based on international aviation law, the US is prohibited from setting such additional standards.
The issue of State control can't be done because it's illegal. The FAA can not give the States control over the public airspace for aircraft, the Supreme Court already ruled on that.
In the thread "We the People" what we're looking at is what CAN be done, how, by whom and the best way to do it. But in that thread we've discovering that steps 1, 2 & 3 may not have been done and going back to the very beginning just may be the best option. Your thoughts would be a tremendous help.
