There are regulations, FAA interpretations that clarify those regulations, and opinions written by the courts that explain their decisions in cases involving those regulations. You may be in violation without even knowing it (and unaware of the consequences). Or, you may be cutting yourself short, assuming you can’t do things you actually can. When you have a question, it’s not always easy to find the answer. Some issues are so complex, convoluted, or controversial that there can be contrary interpretations—or a lack of any guidance at all. Asking other pilots, your CFI, or the internet is a reasonable way to start. But the answers you’ll get aren’t always correct. And just finding out which regulations apply to a given situation doesn’t give you the full picture. Our goal was to help pilots understand how the rules actually work. We asked a noted aviation lawyer to make a list of the most frequent questions he’s asked by GA pilots. We had him sift through the relevant statutes, regulations, orders, interpretations, forms, opinions, and agreements—so you wouldn’t have to. Then, we asked him to explain in plain English what it all means, in a style that’s easy to read and easy to understand. This manual is not just a rehash of what you’ll find in the FARs. You’ll learn to think about legal issues more effectively, and you’ll be better prepared to deal with the legal aspects of any situation you might find yourself in. Whether you’re a new private pilot wondering about logging time, an experienced CFI thinking about getting your own insurance, or a renter looking to buy your first airplane, this book will help you make better decisions. - A fun, engaging way to cut through the complexity The manual makes it easy to find answers to the questions that matter to you most. Related questions are grouped into chapters by topic so you can dive into the subjects that interest you right now, and skip the ones that don’t. When you have questions in the future, you’ll be glad you have this manual in your library. Complex legal concepts are broken down into digestible, easy-to-understand pieces. You’ll find a summary of each topic, key points to remember, and the most common questions GA pilots ask about that topic. The answers are written in a fun, conversational style, and focus on the useful things that GA pilots need to know. Tips and sidebars provide greater context, explain terms and concepts, and expand your knowledge even further. Footnotes refer you to additional resources if you want to dig deeper. Examples make it easy (and interesting) to learn how to navigate even the most complicated legal situations. You’ll discover why the rules exist, how they apply to specific scenarios, and the best steps to take to get what you want (and avoid what you don’t). By walking through the examples you’ll learn to see both sides of the issues. You’ll learn how the FAA thinks, and how pilots end up on the right side—or the wrong side—of the law. ＜＜ Topics include ＞＞ - Cost sharing for Private pilots - Commercial pilots flying under Part 91 - Logging time - Declaring an emergency - Accidents, incidents, and mistakes - Insurance - Maintenance and equipment issues - Ramp inspections and repercussions - Aircraft rental agreements - Aircraft purchase transactions - Using organizations to own aircraft - Taxes and the GA pilot - Liens on aircraft - Flight instructor liability - Charity flights
