Air Law

Air Law is one of the nine core EASA theoretical knowledge subjects for PPL, CPL, and ATPL candidates. It covers the international legal framework governing civil aviation: the Chicago Convention, its 19 Annexes, EASA regulations (Part-FCL, Part-ORO, Part-MED), national implementing rules, airspace structure and classifications, flight rules (VFR and IFR), rules of the air, flight documentation requirements, and accident investigation procedures. The subject also examines search and rescue obligations, noise abatement, and environmental protection rules. In training, Air Law is typically studied early because its regulatory concepts underpin operational procedures and flight planning. Questions require you to recognise specific regulatory references and apply rules to practical scenarios. Expect questions on licence privileges, ratings validity, medical certificate requirements, and the responsibilities of pilot-in-command.
