Look at the entries here — Page 565, Lesson 760

This is the index of the book — the table of contents that maps out the entire Air Law syllabus. I want to walk you through what this index tells you about the structure of the course, because it reveals the major topics you'll be tested on. Look at the entries here. You have the Bermuda Agreement at page 33 and Bilateral Agreements at page 25 — these are international air law agreements between states. The Chicago Convention at page 23 is the foundational treaty of international civil aviation, and Commercial Freedoms at page 32 refers to the traffic rights between nations. Cabotage at page 25 is the right of a country to reserve its domestic air traffic for its own carriers. Then you have the operational side. Certificate of Airworthiness at page 57 — that's the CofA, the document certifying an aircraft is airworthy. Certification of Registration at page 64. Categories of Aircraft at page 167. Classes of Airspace at page 260. Class Ratings at page 75 — these are the ratings on a pilot's licence for different aircraft classes. You'll also see navigation and approach items: Calculation of DA/H at page 178 — that's Decision Altitude/Height — and Calculation of MDA/H at page 179, Minimum Descent Altitude/Height. Circling at page 169. Changing from IFR to VFR at page 118 — switching from instrument to visual flight rules. Aerodrome items appear too: Clearways at page 379, Closed Runways and Taxiways at page 443, Combination Signs at page 408, Circling Guidance lights at page 429. And operational documents: Cargo Manifest at page 455, Carriage of Weapons at page 477, Clearances at page 109, Clearance to Maintain Own Separation in VMC at page 293. There's also CMC at page 456 — that's the Crew Member Certificate — and Commander at page 71, the aircraft commander's responsibilities. Commissions and Committees at page 29 refers to ICAO bodies. Common Mark — that's the registration mark shared by aircraft of an international operating agency. Now, this is just the index — it's a map, not the content. But notice the pattern: international agreements, aircraft certification, pilot licensing, airspace classification, instrument approach minima, aerodrome markings, and operational documents. That's the full scope of Air Law. We'll work through each of these topics in turn as we go through the book.
