This is the index of the book — the table of contents. So what I want to do is walk you through what you're actually looking at, because this tells you the whole skeleton of the Air Law syllabus.
You'll see entries like "mity reports (AIRPROX)" — that's a typo in the index for "proximity reports." AIRPROX is the term for an aircraft proximity hazard report — when two aircraft come closer than they should, and it needs to be reported and investigated. That's on page 281.
Right next to it you have AIREP — that's the routine air report, the standard in-flight position and weather report a pilot sends. And AIREP SPECIAL — that's the special air report, filed when conditions are significantly different from the forecast, like severe turbulence or icing. Both on page 281.
Then AIRMET — that's the airman's meteorological information, the weather advisory for lower-level flights. Page 277.
You'll see the Air Navigation Commission on page 30 — that's the technical body within ICAO that prepares and reviews international standards.
Then you have the airport side of things: Airport Design on page 474, and Air-side on page 370 — that's the part of the airport beyond security, the operational areas where aircraft move.
Now the services. Air Traffic Advisory Service, page 339 — that's a service that provides advice and information to prevent collisions, but it's not as binding as control. Air Traffic Control Service, page 273 — that's the full service that prevents collisions and expedites traffic flow. Air Traffic Flow Management, or ATFM, page 276 — that's the strategic management of traffic to avoid overload. And Air Traffic Incident Reports, ATIR, page 281 — those are reports of incidents involving air traffic.
Then Air Traffic Services, ATS, page 273 — that's the umbrella term covering all of these. AIS, page 351 — that's the Aeronautical Information Service, the system that provides the charts, NOTAMs, and other data pilots need.
Now the alerting side. ALERFA, page 280 — that's the alert phase, the code word used when an aircraft is in trouble but not yet in danger. Alerting Service, page 333 — that's the service that notifies rescue organizations when an aircraft needs help. And Alert phase, page 280 — that's the stage where the aircraft is in difficulty but not yet in immediate danger.
Then you have the altimetry entries: Altimeter Accuracy on page 226, Altimeter Setting Procedures on page 221 — that's how you set the altimeter correctly — and Altitude on page 100.
Finally, the Annexes. Annex 1 through Annex 9, all on page 31. These are the ICAO annexes — the international standards. Annex 1 is personnel licensing, Annex 2 is rules of the air, Annex 3 is meteorology, Annex 4 is aeronautical charts, Annex 5 is units of measurement, Annex 6 is operation of aircraft, Annex 7 is aircraft nationality and registration marks, Annex 8 is airworthiness, and Annex 9 is facilitation.
So this index is your map. Every one of these terms is a topic you'll cover in depth. The page numbers tell you where each one lives in the book. That's what you're looking at here — the full layout of the Air Law syllabus.
