This rule edit was rejected because it looked too similar to another recent submission or a reusable/generic rule template. Please make the summary and detailed explanation specific to "Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport" (Toronto, Ontario, Canada) instead of using wording that could be pasted onto any park or rule page. Example summary: ‘Drone flights in Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport require park authority permission.’ Example detailed rule explanation: ‘At Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, the official source says drones may not be launched or flown inside the mapped boundary unless the park authority grants permission. Add the permit link, exceptions, hours, boundary details, and source note that prove this exact local rule.’ Replace the example wording with the exact rule from your source, keep the place name in the text, and then resubmit.
