JAA PPL Ground training series. CAE Oxford Aviation Academy, 2010. — 340 p.Theoretical preparation course for exams to obtain a JAA/EASA PPL license.
Language: English.(There are no chapters on UK aviation legislation.)Like any community, the aviation community is governed by laws and regulations. Air Law, and its associated subject Operational Procedures, covers such areas as Rules of the Air, Air Traffic Regulations, Airspace Classification, Pilots Licences, Distress and Urgency Procedures, and Accident Investigation. In the aviation community, as in any field of human activity, if you are to become an effective, safe and responsible
member of that commu11ity, you must be familiar with the body of Air Law which is in force in the airspace you fly in, and abide by its teachings.Because aviation is an activity that is global in scope, Air Law applies internationally, too. Organisations such as the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) lay down regulations and procedures which, to a very great extent, are enshrined in the national legislation of ICAO's member countries and in that of other multi-national authorities such as the JAA and EASA.You are, of course, required to comply with the law at all times. But rather than being simply a dry, legal subject, Air Law embodies rules and regulations which are there for a reason. A lot of Air Law reflects common sense, or, to use a better term, good airmanship. So Air Law is a very practical subject, and in mastering Air Law, you will not only be contributing to the efficient and expedlitious flow of air traffic, but also
ensuring that you do not compromise Flight Safety for yourself or for any other user of the air.The introduction of the JAR-FCL PPL has brought with it a change in the way Air Law is examined. In the new examination you are just as likely to have to answer questions on ICAO procedures as on procedures applicable to the airspace of your own country, alone. The main development, then, has been to place greater emphasis on testing your knowledge of Air Law so that you are prepared to fly in the airspace of countries other than your own.Air Law.
