Flying safely - a new book on Air Law
Air Law: A comprehensive sourcebook for Southern African pilots is the first book on air law published by a leading South African academic. Distinguished Professor Philippe Salazar, co-Director of the Faculty of Law's Centre for Rhetoric Studies, is the author of this important new Law publication, intended for the Southern African pilots’ community. Telling the story of flying safely, and basically a pilot text book, Air Law provides instructors and student pilots with the in-depth knowledge required to pass their pilot exams and earn their pilot's licence.
Air Law is written in an easy-to-read, accessible style, is clearly presented and is fully referenced. To become competent and compliant aviators and pilots, students of flying will benefit from this new publication as it guides them through complex regulations. "Air Law will also help commercial pilots to secure the core knowledge of air law that they need to progress to advanced procedures", writes Juta Law, the publishers of Air Law.
Including a section for drone pilots, the book offers aviation enthusiasts and specialists deep insight into the "art of safe flying". Following a VFR pilot on a cross-country flight, Air Law shows readers the rules, regulations, and demands of air law.
