   The state of Wisconsin Aeronautic Board was created by the 1937
 Legislature and consists of five members appointed by the Governor
 subject to confirmation by the senate. It includes a commercial opera-
 tor and transport pilot, a private airplane owner of the state, an
 active airport manager of the state, a member of the Highway Com-
 mission, and a member of the Planning Board. The two mentioned
 last are ex officio members. Members of the board other than ex of-
 ficio members receive a per diem of $10 for not to exceed 15 days in
 any one year spent in the performance of their duties. The board is
 authorized to supervise the establishment of minimum standards of
 safety for aeronautics within the state, including the maintenance,
 operation, and use of airports, landing fields, landing strips, air mark-
 ings, air beacons, and other air navigation facilities, and the establish-
 ment, operation, management, and equipment of all air schools, flying
 clubs, and persons giving air instruction. The board is also authorized
 to adopt and promulgate rules and regulations establishing minimum
 standards for safety with which all air navigation facilities, air
 schools, and flying clubs shall comply. It also adopts and enforces
 rules, regulations, and orders for the development and promotion of
 aeronautics within the state, and for the safety of persons operating
 or using aircraft and of persons and property on the ground. All such
 rules and regulations are kept in conformity as nearly as possible with
 federal legislation, rules, regulations, and orders on aeronautics. All
 airports, landing fields, air schools, flying clubs, air beacons, or other
 air navigation facilities must be registered by the State Aeronautic
 Board before being used or operated. The registration fees are speci-
 fied in the law. The board has power to make investigations, and per-
 form all other acts necessary to administer the provisions of the
 statutes on aeronautics.
