ABSTRACT
Subject to the observance of the necessary safety and navigational requirements, it is not intended to restrict the operation of charter aircraft. Some operations may demand the use of aircraft flying at a relatively low speed; with others speed may be of primary importance. In certain cases aircraft may be required to fly over wide stretches of low-lying desert or tropical wilderness; in others they may have to fly over high mountains and use landing fields several thousand feet above the sea. Manufacturers are unlikely to go to the expense of building a diversity of types, without a broadly based and diversified air transport system able and willing to make use of them. A progressively dynamic civil aviation is thus impossible, if the concern of the Government is to restrict progress and stifle initiative. Officialdom gave scant encouragement either to independent air operators or to manufacturers outside the "Ring.".
