About This Book

This supporting workbook is designed to be used with the Practical Aviation & Aerospace Law textbook to provide a comprehensive instructional package for undergraduate and graduate aviation law courses offered to students preparing for aviation careers. It aids in application of legal principles set forth in the textbook to the kinds of decisions students will make in the real world of aviation as managers, pilots, mechanics, aircraft owners, air traffic controllers, air safety investigators, and others involved in aviation as a profession or hobby. The updated and expanded Sixth Edition reflects statutory and regulatory changes, international treaty law, and includes law topics surrounding the burgeoning fields of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) and commercial spaceflight.With a concise format that mimics the textbook, this combination workbook/study guide breaks down a complex field of law into understandable examples and problems to solve — ultimately helping readers retain the learned concepts. Many of the workbook questions are based on real dilemmas faced by the author's clients during his more than 30 years experience. Others are the product of a fertile imagination…yet they give aviation law students an idea of what can happen in real industry situations.This Practical Aviation & Aerospace Law Workbook enhances the value of the textbook, serving as an excellent supporting teaching tool — taken together, the two complement each other perfectly in the classroom.

Regulatory Agencies and International Organizations
Review Questions
  1. You are the human resources director for a regional U.S. airline. One of your duties includes screening new pilots and maintenance personnel applying for jobs with the airline. As part of the process, your staff should check the FAA’s records on each applicant’s certificates, ratings, accident history, and FAR violation history. Where would they find this information?
  2. You are an engineer for an avionics company that is designing a new navigational system for civil aviation use. What organization establishes the technical specifications for radio aids to navigation? In what series of publications would you look to find these specifications?
  3. Your aircraft has been involved in an accident. What agency or agencies will investigate the accident? What agency will determine the probable cause of the accident?
  4. An agency of the U.S. government is presently experimenting with and assisting in the development of technical standards for the components of the next generation air traffic control system (NextGen). What agency is responsible for that work, and where is it being carried out?
  5. An agency of the U.S. government is conducting research and experimentation on methods for detecting airframe ice and conveying the information to the flight crew in a useful format. What agency would be responsible for such experimentation? If that research and experimentation leads to a new technology, what agency of the U.S. government would establish the airworthiness standards for incorporating that technology into U.S. civil aircraft?
  6. An emerging nation wishes to enter into an agreement with the United States to facilitate regular airline service between the two nations. Which of the so-called “five freedoms of the air” would this involve? What agency of the U.S government would it deal with to negotiate a treaty to provide such service? Once the treaty has been negotiated, is any further action by the U.S. government required to bring it into effect?
  7. The treaty (discussed above) providing for reciprocal air service is now in effect. The other nation wishes to designate its new national airline to provide a portion of the service under that agreement. Does the U.S. government have any say whether that airline will be permitted to provide that service to the United States? If so, how?
  8. What has proved to be the most intractable problem facing international civil aviation on which to gain global agreement? Why?
  9. Does the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have any aviation responsibilities not relating directly to aircraft accidents? If so, describe.
  10. Does the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have any aviation responsibilities other than technological and aerodynamic research and development? If so, describe.
  11. What are the powers of the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) today?
  12. To what extent, if any, may state governments regulate the routes served and rates charged by airlines?
  13. Which agency of the U.S. government regulates labor relations in the airline industry?
  14. What authority, if any, does the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) have over labor relations in:
    1. The airline industry?
    2. Aerospace manufacturing?
    3. General aviation?
  15. Which agency of the U.S government has the primary responsibility for regulating aviation safety?
  16. Describe and distinguish FAA and NASA responsibilities in regulating commercial spaceflight operations.
  17. Distinguish U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) responsibilities from those of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
  18. You want to determine who owns a particular aircraft. Which agency of the U.S. government would have that information, and where would it be found?
  19. Until Congress passed and the president signed the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978, which agency of the U.S. government regulated airline economics (routes served and rates charged)?
  20. Which agency or agencies of the U.S. government operate radio aids to air navigation?
  21. Are there any privately owned and operated radio aids to navigation in the United States?
  22. If the FAA and its counterpart agencies in other nations were interested in collaborating to make civil aircraft certification standards globally uniform, what organization would logically coordinate that effort? Where is that organization headquartered?
  23. Why did the nations represented at the 1944 Chicago Conference not agree to the “five freedoms of the air” then proposed by the United States? If a similar conference were held today, do you think the international community would take the same position? Why?
  24. Which agency of the U.S. government and which office of that agency is responsible for the production of aeronautical charts?
  25. NASA research relating to general aviation focuses on what areas?
  26. Which agency of the U.S. government is responsible for the day-to-day screening of airline passengers, baggage, and cargo?

Review Questions
  1. You are flying a private aircraft from Salt Lake City, Utah to Los Angeles, California, under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). Over the Mojave Desert, you contact Los Angeles Center and request radar flight following to the Camarillo Airport. Center assigns you a transponder code with instructions to “squawk ident” and a moment later the pleasant sounding controller advises you: “Radar contact 3 miles north of the Mojave Airport. We had a report that you may have entered restricted airspace, so please give us a call at 213-666-1234 when you get on the ground.”
    1. What will you reply? Why?
    2. What do you intend to do once you arrive at your destination? Why?
    3. After landing, you are tying down the aircraft when a person approaches and asks: “FAA. Are you the pilot of this aircraft?” What will you reply? What will you do? Why?
    4. The FAA inspector then asks: “May I see your airman and medical certificates and the aircraft registration and airworthiness...
