Excellent book. A must read for all pilots

By A Customer on May 31, 1999

Format: Hardcover

I'm a pilot not a lawyer and I have no connection with the author or the company. This excellent book explains in easy to understand language how the aviation legal system works (and doesn't work). The book tells you what steps to take or more importantly, not to take when dealing with the FAA or other aviation related parties. All pilots should read this book to learn how to protect your license.

Surprising information for the civilian Aviator

By Harley Rider on December 18, 2012

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

This book surprised me by providing not only insight to aviation law, but how to protect yourself from it. By outlining resources available and procedures to follow after an event/incident/accident, whether your fault or not, this book showed how to comply with aviation law while protecting yourself from self incrimination or overzealous honesty.
The book includes current information (as of 2011) on Aviation labor laws, union interaction, aircraft insurance, aircraft sales and related paperwork, as well as federal programs and aviation organization. Good information for anyone in the business of flying.

A must if you are into aviation!

By Brady on October 2, 2015

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

This book is very helpful and easy to understand. I have been a private pilot for a few years now and wish that I would have read this book sooner. It gives you some very important insight into how to deal with the FAA. It would also be a great read if you are a frequent flyer. You will find it very interesting how international law gets handled within the aviation industry.

A superb reference for aviation professionals & hobbiests.

By Midwest Book Review on August 6, 2000

Format: Hardcover

Now in a completed updated, revised and expanded second edition, Scott Hamilton's Practical Aviation Law provides complete, competent course for self-study or undergraduate study on how the legal system works with respect to aviation activities. With entertaining examples of aviation law in action, all of the recent changes to date in statutory and regulatory law are clarified, including international law. Practical Aviation Law is soundly recommended as a quick reference guide for aviation managers, private and professional aviators, flight cres, airline personnel, aircraft owners, air traffic controllers, air safety investigators, and the non-specialist general reader involved in aviation as a profession or hobby.

If you hold an FAA certificate -- you need this book!

By A Customer on October 22, 2002

Format: Hardcover

Several years ago, while attending Emery-Riddle Aeronautical University, this book was used as our textbook for Aviation Law. To this day, anytime I get on the subject of Aviation Law, I recommend this book to anyone who holds an FAA certificate. I'm a Maintenance Supervisor for a major airline and have suggested it to my employees who have found themselves in less than desirable situations involving enforcement actions. They always come back to me with the same comment; "I wish I had read this book before I got into trouble." Learn from their mistakes - read the book before you NEED the book. It's short and to the point, you won't be sorry!

Excellent!

By Richard A. Tait on March 19, 2013

Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase

Don't let the name fool you. This is NOT a boring jargon-filled textbook that you drag your way through. This is a well-written book that brings its point across with many humorous and interesting anecdotes. Mr Hamilton is not only a lawyer but a pilot and aircraft owner and seems to have a wealth of information to share. I did my BSc at Embry-Riddle and this was the textbook used for Aviation Law. I think it was well-chosen.

Great for everyone

Great information for anyone that dabbles in aviation. I have been a pilot in the Army for over 5 years and there was so much I did not know about civil aviation.
