    36 CFR, Chapter III, Part 327.4, Aircraft, states in part, “the operation of aircraft on project lands at locations other than those designated by the District Commander is prohibited. No person shall operate any aircraft while on or above project waters or project lands in a careless, negligent or reckless manner so as to endanger any person, property or environmental feature.”
