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 have made significant advancements, particularly in enhancing air traffic management through NextGen and SESAR initiatives. Globally, there are notable improvements in personnel licensing, accident investigation, and aeronautical information, shifting from regulation to implementation, aiming for self-sufficiency among ICAO member States in international civil aviation. Achieving these goals requires a deep understanding of the legal and regulatory principles governing air navigation. This book discusses essential topics such as airspace sovereignty, flight information zones, rules of the air, personnel licensing, meteorological services, aircraft operations, air traffic services, accident and incident investigation, aerodromes, aviation efficiency, environmental protection, aeronautical charts, and the carriage of dangerous goods. These subjects, alongside NextGen and SESAR, align with the Annexes of the Chicago Convention, highlighting the rights and responsibilities of key stakeholders in air navigation.
