1. INTRODUCTION TO CIVIL AVIATION

2. Topics To Cover What is Civil Aviation Regulating Civil Aviation How do the various Civil Aviation authorities apply to Us? Part 121 and 135 Summary

3. What is Civil Aviation? The term civil aviation refers to the operation of any civil aircraft and related activities for the purpose of transportation by air . Civil aviation covers all aviation activities except military operations . In a broader sense civil aviation and the operation of a civil aircraft refers to the design, development, production, and use of aircraft all related activities and facilities for serving some kind of transportation activities by air. , Unlike many other fields that grow domestically first and then expand to other countries, the civil aviation industry has had an international character from the beginning.

4. Regulating Civil Aviation Because World War 1 had revealed the negative aspect of aviation. The reality of Aviation being a potential threat to national security brought the issue of regulating civil aviation to the international agenda. In 1944, 52 signatory states established the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) at the Chicago Conference. ICAO is a specialized agency of the United Nations(UN). ICAO is responsible for: Regulating safety ICAO is responsible for: Safety Registration Airworthiness Prevention of economic waste Fair competition Standardisation Aviation Law

5. With the Prime Objective being: responsible for worldwide regulation of aviation. Promoting aviation safety (technical and operational safety of flight) Improving security (safeguarding civil aviation against acts of unlawful interference). There are some other regional or international organizations that regulate civil aviation. Examples being: European Aviation Safety Agency( EASA) - Europe The Federal Aviation Administration(FAA) –United States

6. Regions ICAO operates There are a variety of different areas that ICAO regulates, that without them, international travel would be incredibly complicated to do. ICAO 4 letter location indicators

7. How does the civil aviation relate to us? Every other country has it’s own civil aviation authority that regulates civil aviation In that country, for an internationally accepted aviation system, all these regulations must be aligned with the international air rules standards dictated by the 19 annexes, SARPS An aviation regulator is a government authority that works on a national level to approve and regulate civil aviation. These regulators are often referred to as a National Aviation Authority (NAA) or a Civil Aviation Authority. There are hundreds of such regulators, each working to implement and maintain a series of standards outlined by the International Civil Aviation Organization. That is a specialized agency of the United Nations which works to help connect the world . Each developing or developed country has a Civil Aviation Authority CAA is a public entity reporting to the Department of Transport . • Control and regulate civil aviation safety and security • Oversee the functioning and development of the civil aviation industry • Develop any regulations that are required in terms of the above-mentioned Act

8. Civil Aviation Con’t Civil aviation in encompasses a broad variety of aircraft and pilots, flying for many different purposes. These operations can range from light-sport and private flights to commercial air carrier operations. The CAA distinguishes between commercial and general aviation operations . Commercial operations generally involve carriers that operate aircraft in revenue service, for the purpose of either passenger or cargo transport. These carriers are regulated by Parts 121 and 135 . Most air carriers regulated by Part 121 fly large, transport-category aircraft for the purpose of passenger travel. However, some carriers operating under Part 121 transport cargo only . Both passenger and all-cargo Part 121 carriers normally conduct operations in controlled airspace and at specific, uncontrolled airports that are able to provide certain weather, maintenance, and operational equipment and support.

9. Part 135 Part 135 applies to commuter and on-demand operations, which may involve takeoffs and landings at airports that do not have the services required by Part 121. Part 135 contains different regulatory requirements than those for Part 121 operators. Part 121 and Part 135 operations can be further classified into scheduled and non-scheduled services . Scheduled operators offer set departure locations , departure times, and arrival locations in advance of each flight's departure . Non-scheduled operators , or on-demand operators, do not operate from set locations at set times but instead rely on their customers to determine the departure and arrival locations and times.

10. Some Duties of National Aviation Authorities NAA services for aviation personnel : Application for personnel licenses like : cabin crew, pilot, AME, ATC, flight dispatchers , RPAS licenses (drones) ect Application for airport operating exemption Examinations Application for approval renewals Modification, Build Number, Manufacture Approval, AMO . regulating the security operations of aerodrome operators, aircraft, regulated agents, ground handlers One of the key responsibilities of an aviation regulator is to maintain an aircraft register and issues certificates of registration to aircrafts. This register maintains key information about an aircraft and it is very important to ensure that air travel is safe and secure.

11. Summary Civil aviation covers all aviation activities except military operations. ICAO is responsible for the worldwide regulation of aviation. Each country has its own Civil Aviation Authority which operates in line with the regulations set by ICAO . The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a special agency of the United Nations. The ICAO helps its 193 Member States to create shared international standards. These standards provide the basis for national regulations, maintained by a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Most commercial air carriers operate under Part 121. Most general aviation operates under Part 135. All aviation personnel, entities, and airports must comply with the set-out Regulations of their appropriate Authorities . In the US, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is responsible for regulating air travel and air traffic management. The European Aviation Safety Agency adopts a similar role in Europe, drafting important safety regulations that determine how airlines should operate.
