Practical Aviation & Aerospace Law

Scott Hamilton J., Sarah Nilsson

Description

Updated and expanded in its seventh edition, Practical Aviation & Aerospace Law and its companion workbook function as a comprehensive instructive package for undergraduate and graduate aviation law courses. This book, as a set or a stand-alone textbook, is an invaluable reference guide for aviation and aerospace business managers, pilots, maintenance personnel, aircraft owners, air traffic controllers, air safety investigators, operators of unmanned aircraft, and others involved in aviation or aerospace as a profession or hobby.Practical Aviation & Aerospace Law provides readers with the basic legal knowledge and perspective to understand how the legal system works in this industry. The authors guide you to recognize and avoid common legal pitfalls, and help you realize when you need to call a lawyer. This seventh edition reflects recent judicial decisions and changes in statutory, regulatory and international treaty law. It covers topics surrounding the burgeoning unmanned aircraft system (UAS) and commercial spaceflight segments as well, from an increasingly global viewpoint. Authors J. Scott Hamilton and Sarah Nilsson write concisely, clearly and yet conversationally about the complex field of law, including frequent examples from personal experience in practice. This combines to create for the industry a succinct foundation in understanding how to apply the law to aviation and aerospace interests and operations.

PREFACE

Practîca Avîatîon and Aerospace Lawîs desîgned to be used în conjunctîon wît tePractîca Avîatîon and Aerospace Law Workbookas a unîversîty text or avîatîon and aerospace aw courses and, standîng aone, as a reerence guîde or avîatîon and aerospace busîness managers, pîots, mecanîcs, aîrcrat owners, and oters învoved în avîatîon by vocatîon or avocatîon.

Orîgînay tîted sîmpyPractîca Avîatîon Law, begînnîng wît te îrst edîtîon în 1991 and contînuîng troug te sîxt edîtîon în 2015, te book as contînuousy grown în response to îndustry deveopments and înstructor eedback. ïn muc o te word, avîatîon îs generay consîdered to be încuded în te term “aerospace îndustry,” but în te Unîted States, a dîstînctîon as persîsted, wît te term “avîatîon îndustry” generay encompassîng operatîons, repaîr and maîntenance, wîe “aerospace îndustry” îs used to reer to aîrcrat, spacecrat, and component desîgn and manuacturîng, and now aso space îgt, as we as unmanned aîrcrat operatîons.

Wît te recent expansîon o te number o companîes engaged în commercîa spacecrat desîgn and manuacturîng, and most o tese companîes engagîng în or preparîng to engage în operatîon o tose spacecrat (beyond te  îgt test pase) or commercîa purposes, ît appeared tîmey to add a new capter coverîng te aw o commercîa space îgt operatîons în te sîxt edîtîon, and now UAS operatîons în tîs sevent edîtîon. Te addîtîon o “andAerospace” to te tîte sîgnî- îed te book’s expanded scope or te sîxt and subsequent edîtîons. To tat end, Dr. Sara Nîsson, Assîstant Proessor at Embry-Rîdde Aeronautîca Unîversîty, became te îrst contrîbutîng autor sînce te book’s începtîon and provîded te new space îgt aw capter în te sîxt edîtîon; now în te sevent, se as aso brougt er expertîse to new Capter 19 on unmanned aîrcrat systems.

Except or certaîn treatîes avîng wordwîde or at east mutînatîona eect, te scope o prevîous edîtîons o te book as been îmîted to te aw o te Unîted States and may ave ad îtte reevance to te domestîc aws o oter natîons. ïn keepîng wît te truy goba nature

o te avîatîon and aerospace îndustrîes and în recognîtîon o te word- wîde empoyment opportunîtîes tat oers, te new edîtîons began wat îs îkey to be a ong-term eort to contînuay expand te goba perspectîve. Te book does not attempt to expore te entîre seamess web o te aw—ony tose areas partîcuary appîcabe to avîatîon and aerospace. Te autors recommend tat students consîderîng a career în avîatîon and aerospace, weter în operatîons, maîntenance, engîneerîng, manuacturîng or busîness management, aso take courses în busîness aw and avîatîon abor reatîons. Wîe tere îs some overap between te content o tose courses and tîs text, tose gîve muc broader and deeper coverage o some o te ega concepts and prîncîpes studîed ere.

As te tîte suggests, tîs book takes a practîca vîewpoînt. ït aîms to provîde te reader wît basîc ega knowedge and perspectîves aong wît an understandîng o ow te ega system works în reatîon to avîa- tîon and aerospace actîvîtîes. ït aîms to provîde tat în a orm tat can be appîed to ep you recognîze and avoîd common ega pîtas, and to recognîze wen te moment as come to stop wat you are doîng and consut your awyer. ï tîs book ad a subtîte, ît woud beHow to Avoîd Avîatîon Lawyers and Wen to Ca One.

No book can ope to advîse you wat to do în every conceîvabe sîtuatîon. ïn advîsîng our cîents, awyers must take înto consîderatîon not ony te aw but aso te acts and cîrcumstances. ïn over tîrty-îve years o practîcîng aw—în prîvate practîce, as government and ater corporate counse—co-autor Hamîton represented cîents în we over tree tousand avîatîon matters învovîng every subject în tîs book, and never saw two îdentîca cases. Wîe sîmîar acts gîve rîse to sîmîar consîderatîons, sîgt dîerences în te acts and cîrcumstances oten ead to major dîerences în te best approac to sovîng te probem. Exampes în tîs book and îts accompanyîng workbook are drawn argey rom cases encountered în bot autors’ practîces.

Te aw îtse îs aso în a constant state o cange. Even as we wrîte, te Congress o te Unîted States, îty state egîsatures, and a vast number o admînîstratîve agencîes are daîy makîng canges to statutes and reguatîons, wîe undreds o edera and state courts are wrîtîng and pubîsîng case decîsîons on te înterpretatîon, appîcatîon, and constîtutîonaîty o tose aws and reguatîons, aong wît decîsîons tat modîy, carîy, or sometîmes conuse te common aw. Sîmutaneousy,

U.S. dîpomats are negotîatîng wît teîr oreîgn counterparts new or amended treatîes to be ratîîed by teîr governments. Suc canges as ave occurred sînce te sîxt edîtîon o tîs book was pubîsed are one reason or tîs expanded and updated sevent edîtîon.

Wîe tîs process o contînua cange keeps te awyer’s work rom becomîng routîne to te poînt o boredom, ît aso means tat wat was good advîce yesterday (or te day tîs book went to press) may no onger be good advîce today. Wîe te undamenta ega prîncîpes dîscussed în tîs book are ess susceptîbe to sudden obsoescence tan, say, a text on te ïnterna Revenue Code and ïRS Reguatîons,you are cautîoned not to attempt to sove actua îndîvîdua ega probems on te basîs o înormatîon contaîned în tîs book. Fîndîng yourse aced wît an actua ega probem, you soud recognîze tat te tîme as come to consut your awyer.
