Legal Disclaimer

The author of this site is not an attorney and is thus not qualified to give legal advice. The contents of this site are solely intended to provide a basic overview of some aspects of aviation law and some techniques for doing aviation legal research. This site cannot, nor is it attempting to, replace the advice of qualified legal counsel. For answers to specific questions about the legal process or regulatory interpretation, I recommend that you contact your local FSDO or a qualified legal attorney.

This site is also not a replacement for initial or recurrency training from a certified flight instructor. Being a safe and competent pilot requires ongoing study of FARs, AIM, Advisory Circulars, and various other sources. It is the reader's responsiblity to remain aware of current policies and practices. To that end, I have listed a few of the useful sources of primary legal authority and secondary sources that I have encountered.

I have made my best effort to ensure that the information at this site is up-to-date, but I make no guarantee that its contents are current. Regulations and their interpretations by the FAA, NTSB, and federal judiciary change often. In order to obtain the most recent legal authority, you will need to do some updating yourself or contact a legal professional to do so for you.

I also cannot guarantee the validity of the links from this site, nor am I endorsing any of those sites sponsors. Web pages often move or are taken down. If you encounter any broken links or any other out-of-date content, please contact the webmaster.
