Section 21504 Of Chapter 3.7. Wire Strike Education And Prevention From California Public Utilities Code >> Division 9. >> Part 1. >> Chapter 3.7.
21504
. The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a) Representatives from the aviation community, electric utility industry, and government agencies voluntarily convened a working group in July 1992 to develop a comprehensive program to improve low-level flight safety throughout California.
(b) The working group found that the prevention of aircraft wire strikes and losses through (1) pilot education and awareness and (2) selective marking of those wires and supporting structures that present a hazard to low-level flight safety are equally important to improving low-level flight safety throughout the state.
(c) The working group developed criteria for marking selected wires and supporting structures based upon visibility and likelihood of aircraft activity, which now must be evaluated in the field.
(d) It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature in enacting this chapter to implement recommendations of the working group to undertake a pilot education and awareness program and to evaluate the criteria for marking selected wires and supporting structures in the field.
