Overview
In this unit, you will learn about the national aviation rules that protect individual countries and how airlines can operate globally within the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) rules. You will learn about the regulatory structure of civil aviation and the legal system within which this regulatory system operates and the powers, responsibilities, and scope of the various aviation regulatory authorities at the national and international levels. You will learn about when and where the various legal jurisdictions apply for international flights and the laws that apply to international flights operating domestically in other countries. You will study legal frameworks to investigate international airlines breaking the national laws of a foreign country and what legal instruments are available to prohibit foreign airlines from operating in a country’s airspace.
