Understand the global rules that govern international Air Law

Conventions and Agreements form the backbone of Air Law in international aviation. In this ATPL study section, you will develop a practical understanding of the Chicago Convention and ICAO Annexes, the Freedoms of the Air, liability regimes under the Warsaw and Montreal Conventions, and the Tokyo/Hague/Montreal instruments on unlawful interference. We also cover European frameworks such as the EASA Basic Regulation and the role of EUROCONTROL/ECAC, plus bilateral air services agreements. This content aligns with the EASA ATPL Package (former JAA) syllabus to support effective pilot training and exam preparation.

What you’ll cover

  • Scope, applicability, and key provisions of major international conventions.
  • State sovereignty, aircraft nationality/registration, and commander authority (Tokyo Convention).
  • Liability and passenger rights under Warsaw vs. Montreal Conventions.
  • Operational implications for flight planning and international operations (freedoms of the air, BASAs).

By studying these agreements, you’ll learn to interpret legal texts, recall key articles and dates under time pressure, and apply rules to real-world scenarios—improving accuracy and speed for the ATPL Air Law exam. Expect targeted practice with sample questions that mirror exam style and common distractors. The Fasttrack ATPL question bank helps you consolidate knowledge, track progress, and build confidence, so you approach aviation theory assessments with a clear mental map of the global legal framework.
