Updated and expanded in its fourth edition, Practical Aviation Law, used in conjunction with the Practical Aviation Law Workbook, serves as a textbook for undergraduate and graduate aviation law courses. Used alone, it is an invaluable reference guide for aviation managers, pilots, mechanics, aircraft owners, air traffic controllers, air safety investigators, and others involved in aviation as a profession or hobby. Practical Aviation Law provides readers with the basic legal knowledge and perspective to understand how the aviation legal system works, helps readers recognize and avoid common legal pitfalls, and enables readers to recognize when they need to call a lawyer. The fourth edition has been updated and expanded to reflect statutory and regulatory changes resulting from the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and a new chapter has been added on crimes and airport security.
