It shall be unlawful for any person to operate an aircraft in the air, or on the ground or water, while under the influence of intoxicating liquor, narcotics, or other habit-forming drug, or to operate an aircraft in the air or on the ground or water, in a careless or reckless manner so as to endanger the life or property of another. For the purposes of this section a hydroplane shall be deemed an aircraft. In any proceeding charging careless or reckless operation of an aircraft in violation of this section, the court in determining whether the operation was careless or reckless shall consider the standards for safe operation of aircraft prescribed by federal statutes or regulations governing aeronautics, or by state regulations governing aeronautics. Any person violating this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and punishable by a fine of not more than $1,000, or imprisonment for not more than one year, or both.
For any violation of this section or section 263-9, in addition to, or in lieu of, the penalties hereinabove provided or provided by section 263-9, or as a condition to the suspension of a sentence which may be imposed pursuant thereto, the court in its discretion may prohibit the violator from operating an aircraft within the State for such period as it may determine but not to exceed one year. Violation of the duly imposed prohibition of the court may be treated as a separate offense under the sections or as a contempt of court.
