Introduction
For commercial airlines to operate, it is necessary for states to afford the airlines of
other states the right to fly right across their territory for both traffic and non traffic
purposes.
International air transport is not just about navigation. The competitive nature of
business could create the obvious temptation to cut corners and increase profit, so a
strict regulation is required to maintain safety. Over the years the philosophy of “a
safe airline, is a profitable airline” has evolved.
Airlaw 1
International Civil Aviation Organization
(ICAO)
The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) was created in Chicago
Convention of 1944 with 52 countries signing for the creation of the said
Organization.
Purpose of CAAP
To implement policies, rules and regulations on Civil Aviation in order to ensure
safe, economical, and efficient air travel.

Clearance from ATC
An aircraft in distress has the right of way over all other traffic.
When approaching head on - Each shall alter its heading to the right.
Overtaking - Aircraft being overtaken has right of way and each pilot overtaking
an A/C must alter its course to the right to pass well clear.
Approach - A/C on final approach to land or while landing has the right of way
over other A/C in flight or operating on the surface.
Airlaw 22
NOTE: The PIC may not take advantage of this rule to force an A/C off the
runway surface which has already landed and is attempting to make way
for an A/C on final approach.
Written Reports
All accidents must be reported immediately.
A written report is required when A/C has been missing for more than 7 Days.
An in flight fire.
Do not disturb an accident/incident site before the CAAP takes custody, unless
you are assisting injured people or protecting wreckage or cargo.
Safety Devices
Inside the A/C you can locate Life Vest on the back pocket of your seat.
Inflate Life Vest when OUTSIDE THE AIRCRAFT.
Airlaw 23
Emergency Exits - For the C152 and C172 it has 2 emergency exits.
Hangar Rules
Within the vicinity of the airport all aviation personnel should wear High
Visibility Vest.
This helps other crew see you easily in high movement environments.
Do not touch anything such as fluids as it maybe hot or can cause infections.
If you found anything in the A/C such as wallets, phones, pilot equipment turn it
over to our mechanics.
Always Smile!
