Air law is the rules of the sky. It covers the regulations that govern how aviation works in Australia — who can fly, where, in what conditions, and under what authority. Every pilot needs a working knowledge of it before they take to the air.
What this subject covers
- Australian aviation legislation and who enforces it
- Licence, certificate and rating requirements
- Airspace classes and rules of the air
- Aircraft registration and airworthiness
- Right of way and separation rules in flight
Why it matters
Air law keeps Australian airspace safe and orderly. Knowing the rules means you understand your rights and responsibilities as a pilot, and can operate lawfully and confidently in every class of airspace you fly.
