Practical Aviation & Aerospace Law Workbook
()
About this ebook
This supporting workbook is designed to be used with the Practical Aviation & Aerospace Law textbook to provide a comprehensive instructional package for undergraduate and graduate aviation law courses offered to students preparing for aviation careers. It aids in application of legal principles set forth in the textbook to the kinds of decisions students will make in the real world of aviation as managers, pilots, mechanics, aircraft owners, air traffic controllers, air safety investigators, and others involved in aviation as a profession or hobby. The updated and expanded Sixth Edition reflects statutory and regulatory changes, international treaty law, and includes law topics surrounding the burgeoning fields of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and commercial spaceflight.
With a concise format that mimics the textbook, this combination workbook/study guide breaks down a complex field of law into understandable examples and problems to solve — ultimately helping readers retain the learned concepts. Many of the workbook questions are based on real dilemmas faced by the author's clients during his more than 30 years experience. Others are the product of a fertile imagination…yet they give aviation law students an idea of what can happen in real industry situations.
This Practical Aviation & Aerospace Law Workbook enhances the value of the textbook, serving as an excellent supporting teaching tool — taken together, the two complement each other perfectly in the classroom.

You are the human resources director for a regional U.S. airline. One of your duties includes screening new pilots and maintenance personnel applying for jobs with the airline. As part of the process, your staff should check the FAA’s records on each applicant’s certificates, ratings, accident history, and FAR violation history. Where would they find this information?
You are an engineer for an avionics company that is designing a new navigational system for civil aviation use. What organization establishes the technical specifications for radio aids to navigation? In what series of publications would you look to find these specifications?
Your aircraft has been involved in an accident. What agency or agencies will investigate the accident? What agency will determine the probable cause of the accident?
An agency of the U.S. government is presently experimenting with and assisting in the development of technical standards for the components of the next generation air traffic control system (NextGen). What agency is responsible for that work, and where is it being carried out?
An agency of the U.S. government is conducting research and experimentation on methods for detecting airframe ice and conveying the information to the flight crew in a useful format. What agency would be responsible for such experimentation? If that research and experimentation leads to a new technology, what agency of the U.S. government would establish the airworthiness standards for incorporating that technology into U.S. civil aircraft?
An emerging nation wishes to enter into an agreement with the United States to facilitate regular airline service between the two nations. Which of the so-called five freedoms of the air
would this involve? What agency of the U.S government would it deal with to negotiate a treaty to provide such service? Once the treaty has been negotiated, is any further action by the U.S. government required to bring it into effect?
The treaty (discussed above) providing for reciprocal air service is now in effect. The other nation wishes to designate its new national airline to provide a portion of the service under that agreement. Does the U.S. government have any say whether that airline will be permitted to provide that service to the United States? If so, how?
What has proved to be the most intractable problem facing international civil aviation on which to gain global agreement? Why?
Does the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have any aviation responsibilities not relating directly to aircraft accidents? If so, describe.
