Updated and expanded in its fourth edition, Practical Aviation Law and its companion workbook function as a comprehensive instructive package for undergraduate and graduate aviation law courses. Whether used as a set or alone, Hamilton has again produced 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. Written clearly and concisely, this book and its companion workbook provide a succinct foundation to a complex field of law. The conversational tone and frequent examples, many drawn from the author's experience in practice, make this an engaging and readable book. Book jacket.
