Number of teaching hours/week (lecture + practice): 3+2
Topics:
The course teaches the comprehensive knowledge of Air Law to demonstrate a level that grants a succesfull authority examaccording to FCL.515 ATPL - Training course and theoretical knowledge examinations.
The course coversthe following main areas and give thorough information on:
Rules of the air, procedures for air navigation services: aircraft operations, air traffic services and air traffic management, aeronautical information service, aerodromes or
heliports, facilitation, search and rescue, security, aircraft accident and incident investigation, international law: conventions, agreements and organisations, airworthiness of aircraft, aircraft nationality and registration marks, personnel licensing
By conducting the course the student will have the knowledge recommended by the EU legislation (AMC1 FCL.310; FCL.515 (b); FCL.615 (b) and will understand the legal bacnground and basis of aviation, learn the structure and sources of the rules.
Learning Objectives (LOs) published by the European Comission are used when developing the Part-FCL theoretical knowledge elements of the course.
The course is aimed to contribute to the achievement of safe flight during their proposed pilot career. It is crucial that a pilot could be able to recognize the hazard and apply for the well-known procedures in this matter during a flight.

A student must attend the practice classes and may not miss more than three times during the semester. In case a student does so, the subject will not be signed and the student must repeat the course. A student can’t make up any practice with another group. Attendance at practice classes will be recorded by the practice leader. Being late is equivalent with an absence. In case of further absences, a medical certificate needs to be presented. Missed practice classes should be made up for at a later date, to be discussed with the tutor.
B, for grade:
The course ends with an official examination as set out in the regulations of 1178/2011/EU, Part-FCL.
