Air Navigation Law

More about the book

The aviation community, led by organizations like ICAO, IATA, and CANSO, is actively modernizing aviation for the 21st Century. The U.S. and Europe are making significant strides in air traffic management through initiatives like NextGen and SESAR. Globally, advancements are also being made in personnel licensing, accident investigation, and aeronautical information, transitioning from regulation to implementation to ensure that all ICAO member States can achieve self-sufficiency in international civil aviation. Achieving these goals requires a comprehensive understanding of the legal and regulatory principles governing air navigation. This book explores various critical topics, including airspace sovereignty, flight information zones, rules of the air, personnel licensing, meteorological services, aircraft operations, air traffic services, accident investigation, aerodromes, aviation efficiency, environmental protection, aeronautical charts, and the transport of dangerous goods. Most of these subjects correspond to the Annexes of the Chicago Convention, addressing the rights and responsibilities of key stakeholders in air navigation, with the exception of NextGen and SESAR.
