Hey people, long story but for unimportant reasons I'm now doing Aviation Legal Framework at Uni:ugh:. Is this going to be relevant to CPL/ATPL Air Law subjects or is it just background knowlege? It seems at first glance far more indepth than the good old Bob Tait textbooks.:}
Any thoughts?

I don't know if you're at Swinburne, but we did Aviation Legal Framework there and it won't really help you with CPL/ATPL Airlaw at all, but does give you a good idea about the legal system and how it all works.
It is more about how the regulatory bodies (CASA/ASA) formed and looking at different legal cases within the industry. I can't remember if you use CAO's etc. but I remember there was a specific textbook for it and it is open book exam so quite easy to pass, and we were taught by Judge Judy

Goodluck with it :ok:

Aviation Law at Uni was the subject that gave me the confidence to accept a Chief Pilot position after only a short time flying.

Arguing with CASA while a Chief Pilot made me realise I needed to go out and get a Law degree :ugh:

... so I did. ;) :ok:

I found the summarised version of the new CASR's the easiest to understand and covered pretty much everything.

PART 61 Pilot licensing

Subpart 61.A General
